I do not really know, but
http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/update_excuses.html
does. It is a bit cryptic, so use
http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/
to get a more readable explanation. (If you just can't remember the address,
e.g. you are at a computer where you haven't access to your bookmarks, just
ask google: "why is x not in testing" :^) )
I suggest to go to
http://packages.debian.org/
and do a (substring) search, because the above site needs the exact package
name.

I haven't tested this, but you could download the source (.deb) packages
(i2c, too, I think) from unstable (use packages.d.o if you don't want to
change your sources.list, install them and build with (module-assistant [?])
a module package for your kernel.

HTH. Would be nice, if you would write your results here (esp. if there are
problems with that procedure).
