Currently, if you upgrade a package from a third-party repository (for instance, Sid), Synaptic cannot automatically downgrade it to a stable, supported version--you have to uninstall it and reinstall it from the Ubuntu repository. This can cause problems, especially if you try upgrading something with a lot of dependencies and want to bring it back to a stable version. I propose an option to allow Synaptic to "restore" packages and to the latest official Ubuntu release.
It would also downgrade packages that depend on a specific version of another package, or prompt the user to remove them if they are not in the official repositories.

First, allow users to delete their own truly silly ideas. It's ridiculous that I can edit this post to say whatever I want, but can't simply get rid of it.
Second, go straight from version 9.04 "Jaunty Joey" (or whatever) to 9.10 "Lanky Llama" (or whatever). Reasons being that KDE/Kubuntu should have a monopoly on its letter to prevent confusing, and that running "Kitschy Koala Kubuntu" lends itself to some terrible jokes and initialisms.
