proposal for apt-get

[Christian Hammers <ch@lathspell.westend.com>]

Hi !

I am a dial on demand internet user and have the problem that apt 
always tries to fetch the latest package. 
But sometimes I just want to install some version of an unimportant
(relating the version) package like less or make etc.
Then apt-get should better take the one from my CDs or from the cache
than comlaining about the broken internet connection. 

In general apt-get should ask:

Could not connect to the "ftp-site". Should I take an old version of the
"xyz" package that is currently available via "cdrom" (Y/n): 

read you,
