I think the default should be to activate the most recent package, and to activate a package at install time. So, if the user picks a specific older version to activate (or equivalently deactivates the most recent version), record that, and take it into account during activation. This would also need some changes in package-activate and the package menu mode, and also we'd have to store some more info somewhere in ~/.emacs.d/elpa/. Tom
