Package: apt
Severity: wishlist

AFAIK currently the only option to automatically (i.e. no user
interaction) downgrade a package is to pass --force-yes to apt. But this
has the undesired side effect of allowing unauthenticated packages. So
it would be nice to have a separate options to allow downgrades.

This has been fixed since middle of August in 1.1~exp9, you can use
--allow-downgrades (and/or singular, I can't remember) there.
