[Ubuntu-PH] repositories with all previous package versions for a distro?

[Bopolissimus Platypus Jr]

Hi all,

Something broke my Ubuntu 9.04 gphoto access to my camera (Canon
Digital Ixus 700).
It used to work, it broke a few times.  It eventually would get fixed
(once it got fixed by just
sudo apt-get purge gphoto2 and reinstall, but that doesn't work now).

I'm getting tired of this and would like to lock to a working version.
 Apart from finding
the package that came with the original install media (which I don't
have since I did
an online upgrade, but I'll get them sometime), is there a way to get
(preferably all)
previous sub-versions of a package?  I.e., is there a repository out
there that has
package-version-1.deb and package-version-2.deb and package-version-3.deb for
the same distro version (e.g., Jaunty in this case).

The reason I'd like *all* is that it may be that, for any given
package, the most recent
previous version is still broken, so if I know that it's certainly
worked in a given distro
version, then I'd like to be able to install older versions (within
the distro version) until
I find the latest one that worked.

Usually, a very large amount of work goes into the
parsing step (Perl and C++ are probably the best
examples of this-both are basically unparseable.)
