I am not sure you can downgrade anything using apt (but they are probably
working on it :-). Other than downloading manually and using dpkg I don't
know what to tell you. Just curious as to which version of licq you are
running? 1.0-1 was just recently packaged, so you might want to have a crack
at that one first.
