Sven,
If experimental or unstable would not be suitable, how about using an
unofficial apt repository for it? This would get the package started
along side the earlier developement of the application and might
possibly make it easier to manage in the long run. Once the app and
package reach a more stable point, place that version in experimental or
unstable. Does that seem reasonable or am I missing something?
Thanks,

When choice matters, choose Debian.
