It looks like the raw1394 module is no longer included in the newer
Debian kernels. (I don't use the stock kernels, so I don't know for
sure.) You might have to compile your own kernel to have the module
available; its source code is still included in the Debian kernel
sources.
Alternatively you can try to "modprobe firewire-core". This is the
module for the new "Juju" firewire stack; maybe Debian has switched to
that. I don't know if userland tools such as dvgrab work with the new
firewire stack already. According to the kernel documentation,
firewire-core "functionally replaces ieee1394, raw1394, and video1394".
