You no longer have to manually change the debug flag. Just omit it. When
your run through Eclipse (using the debug certificate) it's enabled by
default. When you export for release, it's disabled for you.

Revert to your last good build in your version control (you do have version
control, right?), update version code, re-release.

The developer console has this nifty notion of "active APK" and buttons
that read "set as active" (at least the old console did). This might lure
you into thinking that you can just push a button and go back to a previous
version. You actually can't and this idea of "active APK" turns out to be
utterly pointless and begs the question of why it was ever even put there
in the first place.

Correct. You don't want to do that.
