As has been addressed in other recent posts, downgrading a package
to a previous version once a newer version has been installed
is unsupported and often difficult. If there is a different package
that performs the same function, it is usually easier to deinstall
the problem package and install the alternative package in its place.
Laying my personal biases aside and considering the problem as
objectively as I can, I would recommend installing an alternate
bootloader, if possible, rather than attempting to downgrade the
existing bootloader. But each user must decide for himself what
works best in his situation.
