Yes. I greatly appreciate your efforts in this burdensome situation.
I tried downloading and installing 2.0.31 from upstream source, and also the upstream dpkg, but ran into dependency issues. I couldn't figure them out, but that's not surprising given my very limited Python knowledge.
In the long run, I think the best fix is to establish alternate Anki server choices. If and when those can be stabilized, there will be less need to rush to adopt new client versions. That way, if the Ankiweb administrator is too aggressive in pushing upgrades, that service will lose traction as people shift to user-friendly servers, or just run their own. That is outside of the scope of this conversation, though.
