There is no need to build the package. Just add the experimental source
and install from it as you would from other sources.

The new format is not line-per-line but paragraph-per-paragraph. You
can copy/paste the paragraph for your "testing" source, and replace
"testing" with "experimental".

? Not even packages from testing?

There is the blends website for instance:
https://blends.debian.org/accessibility/tasks/index

https://packages.debian.org/
provides a search option. By default it only looks inside "stable", but
there is an option to make it look inside "unstable" and "experimental"
too.

Again, where was that?

It's on the packages.debian.org site:
https://packages.debian.org/experimental/orca
