If you want to retrieve a particular version of a package that is no 
longer in stable, unstable or testing, look at:

http://snapshot.debian.net/

To find and obtain what versions are of a particular package are 
available, you need to find the source package name for the package you 
want.

For example, I was looking for available versions of the linux kernel in 
 the 2.6 series. The source package name is "linux-2.6" and so I put 
the following in /etc/apt/sources.list and ran aptitude -u

deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool linux-2.6
deb-src http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool linux-2.6

As always, if something breaks with an upgrade, use reportbug to see if 
the bug has been found and work-arounds are available, or failing that 
to report the bug to the maintainer.
