What you are looking for is at http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/sarge/dists/sarge/ This archive works, but is not as complete as the normal pure64 archive (missing a bootloader, notably). A few days ago, I was able to downgrade a server to this release with very little manual intervention, only ntpd and yafc had to be installed manually. This will probably be significantly more difficult for a desktop system. To make apt downgrade packages, it is necessary to put the lines Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 1001 into /etc/apt/preferences, if you want to use packages from unstable add Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 60
