Responding "n" to see alternative scenario leads to more downgrades... while
typing ": hpijs-ppds" works perfectly well:
| Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] : hpijs-ppds

Aptitude should really only suggest downgrade as a last solution and ideally
only when the current system is already broken.
To duplicate the problem I've put my dpkg status file and the /var/lib/apt
lists (and sources.list) in
http://people.debian.org/~hertzog/aptitude-downgrade.tar.bz2
Cheers,
PS: BTW looking at the info below, you might want to add a LC_ALL=C in the
script that gathers those infos ;-)
