The two sets of Debian executables cannot coexist because we install into their proper locations governed by policy, ie /usr/[share|bin|sbin|etc] where the previous 1.3 version exists. Libraries can coexist so you can run GNOME 1.4 apps even if your session is handled by GNOME2. You can download packages with non-simultaenously installable executables from experimental. Libraries maybe in both unstable and/or experimental. The upgrade will become more and more smoothe as time progresses, primarily because the Debian dependency system in excellent and tools for managing the dependencies are well written.
