Public bug reported:
Suppose package x has greater version than the latest one in
repositories.
sudo apt-get install -t=$(lsb_release -cs) x
does not downgrade the package, but
sudo apt-get install x/$(lsb_release -cs)
does.
I don't see why it shouldn't downgrade by the first command, too.
Besides, I request an option to retain package's auto/manual state in
this operation.
