the elbe xsd defines the parameter "version" for the pkg node. This option can be used to install a certain version of a packge (as far as I know). 

<target>
<pkg-list>
<pkg version="1.2.3-1">my-app</pkg>
</pkg-list>
</target>

The package list above should install the older version of the package.
