OK, I found that in the Synaptic Package Manager, but when I select 
"Package", the "Force Version" menu option is grayed out.  libraw1394-8 
says 1.3.0-4 under both the "Installed Version" and "Latest Version" 
columns.  Maybe there's no way to go back?  Or do I have to download a 
.deb package for the older version from somewhere?

Thanks,
Harry
