Can I submit a package downgrade request?

[jcsl]

Hi.

Recently I sent a submit request with an updated version of Parcellite, a
clipboard manager for LXDE. This version had some bugs and I updated to the
latest svn revision that fixes most of them. But one remains an is very
annoying: text selection is broken, you cannot select text in some programs
because the selection is cleared immediately. I submitted a bug report
upstream but the developer cannot reproduce the problem and so he cannot fix
it. We're still in contact but I read that the package freeze will be soon and
I don't like the idea of shipping a broken version of the program.

So, can I submit the previous version of the program that worked fine?

Greetings.

Of course.

For released products, just don't stepdown the "Version:" number
(but do change the software - i.e. tarball/patches/etc. -, of course).
