Note that the above message is probably not possible with a pure
Debian/stable installation (in particular, no multimedia repo).

In case you want to get rid of the packages from the multimedia repo,
an alternate solution could be:

with all packages that need to be downgraded. But note that
downgrading packages is not officially supported and may fail or
yield an inconsistent configuration state.
