i asked for 'pinning' advice in the debian #packaging irc channel

it's impossible to pin an older package without instructing users to manually
add an entry to their /etc/apt/preferences.d dir

we could automate that task within koha-common, or another helper package - but
that is probably considered inappropriate behaviour for a package (for security
reasons)


the workaround for pinning, is to name the package using the +really convention
described here ->
