Hi Jon,

That sounds good, but you don't have to downgrade from CD -- I purposely
don't delete the old packages from my server. So you should be able to
downgrade by manually installing the correct .debs directly. For
example, if you go to http://debs.astraw.com/hardy/?C=M;O=D you'll get
the .debs listed in reverse chronological order. From that, I can see
that installing

http://debs.astraw.com/hardy/libcamiface_0.4.dev716-0ads1_i386.deb
http://debs.astraw.com/hardy/camiface_0.4.dev716-0ads1_i386.deb
http://debs.astraw.com/hardy/python-motmot-camiface_0.4.1~dev-r637-0ads1_i386.deb
http://debs.astraw.com/hardy/python-motmot-fview_0.5.2~dev-r715-0ads1_all.deb

should restore the .debs to the situation throughout most of February.
(The most recent package of those is from 6 Feb.)

Finally, to run the older kernel, you don't have to install any new/old
packages: it's just a matter of rebooting.
