Read the description of the install verb more closely:

<quote src="apt-get(1)">
          A specific version of a package can be selected for
installation by
          following the package name with an equals and the version of
the
          package to select. This will cause that version to be located
and
          selected for install. Alternatively a specific distribution
can be
          selected by following the package name with a slash and the
version
          of the distribution or the Archive name (stable, testing,
unstable).
