If you do it like that, ALL packages will be downgrade to snapshot level. I 
think it is better to restrict this activity to just the two packages i 
question. 

Here is what I did:

1) Download the 2 packages from http://snapshot.debian.org/. There is a "search 
binary package" function which allows to search for libkdecorations2-5 and 
libkdecorations2private5. 
Download versions 4:5.3.2-1

2) Install them via "dkpg -i <packagename>"

3) Pin the two packages to prevent future upgrades:

Package: libkdecorations2-5
Pin: version 4:5.3.2-1
Pin-Priority: 1000

Package: libkdecorations2private5
Pin: version 4:5.3.2-1
Pin-Priority: 1000

That does the trick on my machine.
