If you used /etc/apt/preferences you would have to grab the package out of
"testing" which would likely be older than you would want. The easiest way is
to either keep the old packages in /var/cache/apt/archives around for a while or
just go to http://snapshot.debian.net and get whatever packages you need from
there.
