Well, you should either talk to upstream to consider fixing that up or write a
small script to call dos2unix on all files for you and then repack the
tarball back as well. I can't think of any other decent option ;-)

experimental is a non-automatic repository ( i.e. if you want to pull packages
from there you should call apt-get install with -t experimental. In the case
of pbuilder you can use:
PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD="/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends-experimental"
instead of:
PBUILDERSATISFYDEPENDSCMD="/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends"
in your /etc/pbuilderrc.
