IIRC, you can do
# apt-get install package=3.2.0-3
or alternatively
# apt-get install package/{stable,unstable,testing}

if you're interested in newtork-oriented things, I'm developing here
a test suite to torture-test IP routers. it has successfully crashed
almost every 2.4 kernel I could try with it, and my TODO list includes
the following :

- extending the torture-test so it can be fully remote-controlled
- extending the torture-test to allow it to test ethernet and/or ATM 
  switches, not only IP routers
- extending the torture-test to check RSVP implementations
- fix bugs in linux kernel which cause it to crash under overextreme
  network load (maybe related to routing cache, not sure)

I started this as a student project, and I only needed to bench MPLS
implementations, but it could easily be extended to bench/test other
things.

feel free to contact me for more informations.

did you check that the database for horde was properly created ?
see if /var/lib/mysql/horde (don't know where to look if you're
using postgres) contains various files. if the directory is empty,
you have to run something like "mysql -uhordemgr -ppassforhorde
horde < /usr/share/doc/imp/examples/mysql_create.sql"
