Q: Can I downgrade, like unstable->testing, testing->stable or unstable->stable?
A: It's not possible with apt-get at the moment and probably never will be supported because why would you want to downgrade in the first place?
Addendum from Thomas.Blatter@wanadoo.fr:
- This is not true, with pinning one can easily downgrade (I successfully did it once, from unstable to stable). One uses negative pin-numbers to uninstall/downgrade (cf. man sources.list and google "apt-get pinning").
