So, not being able to redeem myself with a real link to 3.5.5-1 (sorry about 
that), I can suggest that if you've ever had it installed on your system, then 
it's likely that you can still find it on your system under 
/var/cache/apt/archives.  If it's there, you can do a "dpkg -i" to install it, 
but may need to force downgrade.
