experimental is not a complete distribution. You cannot just use
--distribution experimental. I think that you should use an unstable chroot
and add to apt experimental sources. You will also have to provide a
correct /etc/apt/preferences (otherwise, experimental repository will not
be used).
Why whould you like to build in an experimental chroot ?
