It would be helpful for others if you would post the final solution here.

It is not "changing" but "adding" experimental which is definitely the
solution.  I personally use cowbuilder (pbuilder with copy-on-write)
which is a bit faster.  Cowbuilder creates its chroot at

    /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow

and thus adding experimental is as easy as droping a file

    /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow/etc/apt/sources.list.d/01-experimental.list

containing

    deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ experimental main

You need to `cowbuilder --update` afterwards.  I think for plain
pbuilder you need to unpack the tar-gzipped chroot which is also under
/var/cache/pbuilder add the file and tar-gzip it again.  May be using
cowbuilder is to be prefered anyway.

Kind regards

     Andreas.
