Downgrading is officially not supported, but it generally works without a
hitch. The easiest way is apt pinning:
Write the following to /etc/apt/preferences :
Package: *
Pin: release n=jessie
Pin-Priority: 1001
then "apt dist-upgrade". Obviously, you need to have jessie sources in
/etc/apt/sources.list to have something to downgrade to.
The documentation is in "man apt_preferences", TL;DR: priorities >= 100
allow upgrading, priorities > 1000 allow downgrading.
You'd probably want to delete ascii sources and comment out the preferences
afterwards, as it's a common pitfall to leave the pin in place then forget
it's there, which can make waste your time troubleshooting.
