Sorry, the current database layout does not allow for multiple versions
of the same package in the same
distribution-component-packagetype-architecture quadruple. Support with
not be possible before a complete rewrite of database handling[1] (or some
other code that assumes this).
If you only want files in the pool, you can use "Tracking:" or tell it
to not delete unneeded files.
Having things apt-getable is only possible with snapshots or different
distributions.

[1] Which I plan to do anyway, as I want to get rid of that buggy libdb,
