That is not exactly supported. Especially since there are *huge*

sepearate partition from the beginning, this should be relatively
trivial to accomplish without losing many settings.
I'd second this advice. Re-install, don't even *try* to downgrade...
I agree as well.
Though it has been possible in the past, at the current time that ''not exactly supported'' is at best a rather gracious euphemism.
I tried to go from testing->stable the other day with disastrous results. Things really got wedged when apt-get/dpkg objected to removing some files shared by debian-utils and some other package whose name escapes me.
I gave up and reinstalled from scratch.
