I don't use Debian nor Debian's apt-get utility, but the -t=target_release, install pkg=package_version_number/target_release, and remove pkg=package_version_number/target_release options would seem to be good options to investigate.

NAME
debpartial-mirror -- debpartial-mirror is a program to generate partial Debian packages archives mirrors. SYNOPSIS

debpartial-mirror is a command-line tool to generate partial Debian packages archives mirrors. It is designed to work (in particular) in Custom Debian Distributions framework, as an aid to create customization of debian systems. Partial mirrors can be generated from different apt repositories (local created or remote ones) and can contain binary as well as sources packages. Generated partial mirrors have the structure of standard apt repositories: please referr to APT documentation for explanation about this. debpartial-mirror uses a configuration file to determine which packages, are to be downloaded and monitored to generate a local partial mirror. Packages can be specified by regular expressions, by list or by mirrors sections. Default configuration file is /etc/debpartial-mirror.conf. debpartial-mirror accept commands in the same way apt-get does, and unless the -h or --help is given, one of the commands below must be presented. update update update is used to resynchronize the package index files from specified sources. upgrade upgrade upgrade is used to dowload selected binary and source packages from specified mirrors. The first time this command is ran the partial mirror is generated: after this, only newer or updated packages will be downloaded into the mirror. all all all is used to perform both update and upgrade commands. OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. -h --help Show summary of options. -v --version Show version of program. -cCONFIGFILE --configfile=CONFIGFILE Select the confiruration file. -s --simulate Do nothing, only simulate all.
