Wondering if you could give me a few tips on how you downgraded

I have not any link to give you, sorry if something might be
imprecise (sending to the bug ticket as well):
The quicker way ("aptitude downgrade" didn't work):
take the versions you need checking in /var/cache/apt/archives if
you still have it, or downloading them at
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/cyrus-sasl2/ (better if you
use your preferred mirror) then as root:
# dpkg -i <your .deb files to downgrade>
Put your downgraded packages on hold to avoid involuntary re-upgrades.
Check constantly in unstable if it appears the fixed version to be
able to reupgrade them all.
probably you'll need to downgrade other packages in order for your
system to work again, if the downgraded versions needed a different
set of deps you do not have anymore.
In my case only sas2-bin and libsasl2-2 was enough, cyrus worked
fine. I'm just waiting for the official fix. Hope it will reach us soon.
Usually, in easy circumstances if something breaks during the
downgrade, you can use aptitude to re-upgrade it all.
Do not downgrade important or complex pacakges unless you know what
you're doing.
hope it helped,
C.
