What's the official suggestion to move past this. Force install the older
version? Is there a way to skip this?

I've manually installed the older pgsql-doc package, but the deprecated

rabbitmq-server, but that doesn't get around the management-agent dep for
the launchpad-messagequeue-dependencies.
