Actually, I just looked at this thread again and realize I was reading
it backwards (my typical mistake). I thought he wanted to download
Breezy packages and use them on Hoary. I suppose the answer may be:
Possibly. And any packages downloaded from Hoary will be automatically
updated at the next apt-get upgrade, assuming they've been installed
with dpkg. I'm not sure I understand why you would want to do that,
though.
