Strictly speaking it pins all packages of experimental to 400. But
installed packages have a priority of 500 so they are of higher priority
than experimental ones ...
But APT is a smart tool and it understands that the package coming from
experimental have a higher version number that the unstable package
which should have been there and thus decides of its own to track
experimental for those packages.
Everything is explained in man apt_preferences but you'll have to read it
twice or thrice to be sure to understand it correctly. :-)
