Much more work than it's worth. It's easier to reinstall.

There was a recent thread on this, and the OP eventually decided to
write a
script that listed every package he had and copy this to
package.mask (with
">" in front of course), then just wait for everything in stable to
catch up.
I considered that to be an easy & straight-forward way to undertake
the "downgrade".
I'm not sure if every installed package was marked in this way or
merely every package in world?
But indeed the poster who suggested this method stated that he had
gone from ~x86 to fully x86 in a matter of a few months.
