 Hmm I didn't know this pulls everything from experimental; it's quite
 uncommon that people are interested in using everything in
 experimental; the most common case is trying a new lib or stack in
 experimental, but most people aren't interested in /everything/.

 I don't quite like the hack of special casing --distribution
 experimental; I wonder whether it would make more sense to have a
 higher level "profile" concept and pbuilder would provide a
 sid-experimental profile as well as a experimental-full profile if some
 people have interest in this.
