I have indeed lived under a rock, not participating nor reading any of
the Debian public fora up until now. Sorry for my ignorance on this
issue.

You are probably right. I developed the bad habit of considering
"testing" as stable back at the later stages of when Woody was
"testing", and "stable" was more like "green with fungus". ;-)
Anyway, thanks for informing me.
Thanks also to the other respondents, who pointed at dpkg-divert,
which was the kind of solution I was initially looking for. My problem
turned out in the end to be better solved by doing "apt-get remove
g++" followed with "apt-get install g++/stable", as indicated by
Marc..
