Since Skype 4.2 stopped working, I've been trying unsuccessfully to

I just did an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' from the lasted squeeze update, and
failed to notice it had decided to install a stock kernel image:

I recently did a large upgrade in wheezy, and now I want to downgrade a
certain package to the previous version. Is there some way to get my
hands on that previous version?
Specifically, the upgrade brought up debian bug #665004, which made my
touchpad scrolling stop working right. The bug repor

Running wheezy on my laptop, the touchpad had been working, complete
with two-finger scrolling and middle-button emulation. But at some
point in the past three weeks or so---possibly after a
dist-upgrade---all the multi-touch features stopped working. Mouse

When I boot the system with the 2.6.26 kernel, the nfs mounts work.
Any suggestions what could be wrong, or how to diagnose it?

I'm trying to upgrade the kernel from 2.4 to 2.6 on my Thinkpad. I'm
using custom built kernel rather than the stock debian kernel, since
the stock kernel doesn't have some features that I want.

This is really two questions about apt.
First, how can I limit the amount of package archive that apt is
