It's possible. I've done it with aptitude by looking up each package
from the list generated by the command below and selecting the Debian
version instead of the deb-multimedia version.
aptitude search ~S~i~Omultimedia
With apt-get you would have to build up a big command line like
apt-get install package1/version1 package2/versions ...
because there are lots of interdependencies which would get in the way.
You could also try pinning deb-multimedia to -1, and try an 'install',
possibly with '-f'.
Kind regards,
Andrei
