1. The Headless Horseman Debian

   If I were to install a package from the !debian experimental repo, how would I downgrade it back to the squeeze version from the cli?

     @horseman apt-get install package=version where you can get version with apt-cache show package | grep Ver

     @horseman you would need to use apt-pinning and repo/version priority setting. read about apt-pinning (I got a bit rusty with that)

     @horseman Something like: apt-get package/unstable

     @horseman Oops, I meant: apt-get install package/unstable

     @horseman sudo dpkg -i? Take care about the dependencies it pulls, though; apt-get install -f is your friend.
