That's fine.  Here's a quick demo.

In the source package name box, I enter: linux-2.6

Looking at 3.2.18-1, I get links to binary packages.  If I trust my
DNS, the snapshot.debian.org mirror administrators, and any HTTP
proxies and routers that might be between me and there, I can download
the binary package from here and install it with gdebi.

If I am less trusting, I note the date the packages were seen for
reference:

        2012-05-22 04:13:05

Now I add an entry for the next day to my sources.list:

        deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20120523T000000Z/ 
unstable main

As described on the snapshot.debian.org front page, I run

        apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update

then install the package:

        apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false \
                install linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64=3.2.18-1

and then I remove the entry from sources.list.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
