What you can do is download the .deb file and install it with dpkg -i
foo.deb Downgrading may then be done with dpkg -i anotherfoo.deb or
aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-ati/unstable or so.
Or you can add
deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool xserver-xorg-video-ati
to your sources.list, run aptitude update, see the list of available
versions with
apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-ati
and install whichever version you want with something like
aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-ati=1:6.8.1~git20080302.a4398ac3-1

I usually bounce messages to nnnnnn@bugs.debian.org when the submitter
forgets to keep it in cc. Sorry if I shouldn't have done that, was there
anything top-secret to hide?

Yes, that's what you're supposed to do.
