The equivalent of stable is 'Hoary', and the equivalent of
unstable is 'Breezy.' I'm running Breezy right now.
Actually, Breezy seems to have some packages -- like x.org
-- that aren't in Etch yet, so maybe Ubuntu unstable =
Debian experimental. Or somesuch. Anyway, the more stable
version is Hoary. I have Hoary repositories in my
sources.list. So shouldn't I be able to do

sudo apt-get install -t hoary xserver-xorg

and back up to the stable version? I'm not sure this is what
I *want* to do, mind you, but when I do it I get

xserver-xorg is already the newest version.

Which is true -- the one installed is from Breezy -- but
shouldn't it be honoring my '-t hoary' command? ('-t stable'
doesn't work either.)

I wonder if I was out on the day that Mrs. Potter taught
about downgrading in APT class.
