That is not actually necessary. Include the SC deb path in your
/etc/apt/sources.list and update as normal. Apt keeps all the
downloaded packages in /var/cache/apt. e.g:
Code:
--------------------
pc:/var/cache/apt/archives ls -lt sque*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21218748 2008-02-03 18:24
squeezecenter_7.0-17126_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17513962 2008-01-28 18:23
squeezecenter_7.0-16819_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17513190 2008-01-25 18:23
squeezecenter_7.0-16744_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17507646 2008-01-21 18:17
squeezecenter_7.0-16504_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17507172 2008-01-20 18:17
squeezecenter_7.0-16492_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17314156 2008-01-16 18:17
squeezecenter_7.0-16329_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17313826 2008-01-15 18:17
squeezecenter_7.0-16284_all.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17313254 2008-01-15 02:26
squeezecenter_7.0-16254_all.deb
--------------------
Unless/until you purge your cache, you can always go back and install
manually if you need. I use aptitude and it always lists the current
and previous versions in its gui anyhow.
