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/.
