I don't think that experimental is important enough to add, but I understand
that some PTS users prefer it added, so I'll add it. It causes an increase of
1278-1256=22 messages, which is very acceptable. One example of a difference
between unstable and experimental is that libcmis in experimental build-depends
on docbook-to-man with RFA 549475.

Interesting idea, however this would add 2996 messages, with 1475 messages only
for quilt. I'm not sure about repeating RFHs on so many PTS pages. On the one
hand RFHs for packages with so many reverse dependencies deserve more
visibility, but on the other hand if we put too many messages on the PTS pages
then people won't read them anymore. Other opinions on this ?
