Why we first need to remove this package ?
Who already did it can cache and share the original package please ?
The operation you request is to reinstall the patched (+nmu1) version you sideloaded.

In order to reinstall the original, you need to explicitly specify the version, as it is a downgrade, like "apt-get install telepathy-gabble=0.12.6+0maemo12+0m7". Does this work?
