Sven, I think you're missing one important difference: you can't have
packages in experimental without the maintainer's approval, but you
don't need approval from the maintainer of a package to setup unofficial
repositories of that package. In this case Christian has manifested he
does not plan to upload himself or to let others upload to experimental,
so experimental is not an option unless he changes his mind. A private
repository is an option, regardless of what Christian plans to do.

Agreed, this is the biggest similarity, but as I said in my previous
post, if we collaborate we can gain some ground here.

I've seen a couple of HOWTO on how to use pinning, but I forget where I
saw them.
