For quite a few packages that have this branching structure, Debian
would ideally have both - latest development versions in experimental,
and LTS versions in unstable/testing/stable.
In some packages I use a different d/watch for unstable and experimental
(so that at least I can do a "uscan --download" on each branch and
get the right thing), but that's one more thing to adjust when merging
between branches, and the PTS can only remind me about one of them. It
would be great if uscan (or equivalent) could show us both from one
configuration file.
