I was hit by the same bug in Debian testing and was able to downgrade those packages using snaphot.debian.org.

Here is what I did for the reference:

Created /etc/apt/preferences.d/snapshots
like this:

Package: *
Pin: origin "snapshot.debian.org"
Pin-Priority: 1001

Then created /etc/apt/sources.list.d/snapshots.list
like this:

deb     http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20150817T213310Z/ testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20150817T213310Z/ testing main contrib non-free

And then run:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

and it downgraded those packages to the working set. Don't forget to comment out or remove that preference and apt source after you downgrade the packages.
