The general answer is "downgrades are not supported".  It is often
possible to just install the previous versions of packages with "dpkg"
(look in /var/cache/apt/archives/ for old .debs), but there are no
guarantees.  Installing "apt-listchanges" and "apt-show-bugs" can help
make sure an upgrade is a wise choice before you do it.
