Not that I know of. Hopefully you still have your
binutils_2.11.92.0.5-2_i386.deb file in /var/cache/apt/archives. If so,
you can just use dpkg directly:
dpkg -i --force-downgrade /var/cache/apt/archives/binutils_2.11.92.0.5-2_i386.deb
That should do it. You may need to downgrade binutils-doc as well, if
one is dependent on the other.
