How to change to earlier package

I am extremely new to ejabberd. I was able to successfully install version 2.1.0 on a new server and get it running with the current server code. However, the development server is running an earlier version (2.0.5) and there is now code that is not compatible with my newer ejabberd version.

I was told to change ejabberd (on my server) to an earlier version 2.0.5, so that the code would be compatible.

I have never done this before and I don't want to break anything that is currently installed on my server. Is there an easy way to do this? I am not worried about having to reconfigure it. I just want to make sure that there is a way to effectively remove all of the 2.1.0 package before re-installing the 2.0.5 package.

My server is using a Debian OS.

I just ran sudo apt-get

I just ran sudo apt-get remove --purge ejabberd to uninstall it.

Then ran: wget http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/archive/downloads/ejabberd/2.0.5/... to get the binary.
