One could argue that the package in unstable is meant for the next stable
release, while in experimental "anything goes", so one could argue that the
TODOs on the PTS should (primarily) focus on the package in unstable. I don't
object against also displaying information about packages in experimental, but
if the package in experimental is newer than the one in unstable, then PTS
should still display info about the package in unstable, in my opinion.
