Just a note of explanation on what the issues between fcam-drivers and power-kernel actually are:
It comes down a single kernel version string check in the Linux kernel module installer. It's strict about compatibility, and won't let you install a kernel module unless it was compiled for the _exact_ kernel you're currently running.
So, every time there's a new version of Titan's kernel, we (the fcam devs) have to make sure Titan's uploaded the new kernel-headers package, and then we just need to increment our version number by one (so that we can resubmit it), and upload fcam-drivers into the repositories again. That way it'll get built correctly for the latest power kernel.
There's many problems with this whole thing, though: we have no real way to get people to update fcam-drivers (since it's not a user package), and if you want to keep running the older power kernel, the new fcam-drivers won't work for you - and as far as I know, I can't have two versions of fcam-drivers in the repo at the same time.
So we'll hopefully get the new version of fcam-drivers up soon - it'll be exactly identical to the previous one, just with the correct kernel version string embedded.

cp /var/lib/dpkg/available-old /var/lib/dpkg/available
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
