Title:
Provide a function to undo all upgrades of proposed packages
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
While packages which are upgraded by versions delivered by a PPA are
easy to downgrade with `ppa-purge` an equivalent function is missing
for packages installed from `proposed` after it has been activated.
Afaik the overview provided at
https://askubuntu.com/questions/59443/how-can-i-revert-back-from-an-
upgrade-to-the-proposed-repository is still the current state.
The switch to `proposed` can be an easy way to fix issues, however
once the fix makes it into an `-updates` repository it is a legitimate
use case to stop using `proposed` packages since they can be
troublesome.
It'd be nice to automate the function provided by the scripts listed
in the askubuntu.com post in a maintained official Ubuntu software.
Most of the functionality is probably provided in `ppa-purge` already.
