Best bet I know is to back up the things you need, re-install Potato, and
upgrade to Testing.
However, the new apt in unstable supposedly has some options for this
(downgrading). Since I only run Testing (leading edge, not bleeding
edge), I haven't checked them. If you've got Unstable, try a "man apt"?
