Bug#115787: apt-get downgrade

[Nikolaus Rath <Nikolaus@rath.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist

Hello!

I would love a apt-get downgrade command. It should downgrade all (or
only the given) packages to the highest avaible version.

Very usefull if you tried XFree 4.1 and want to return to 4.0, but
don't know which packages have been upgraded. In the moment i must
compare Packages.gz by hand, with apt-get downgrade it would be enough
to delete the XFree 4.1 line from sources.list.
