Hm.
Actually.
No, this may be not such a good idea after all. I don't think that a
maintainer who uploads something to the archives wouldn't want it to be
built if he had the choice, so most packages would be built anyway.
Giving people the option is silly, then.
Also, I don't see why you would want to manually specify what stuff to
take from unstable instead of experimental? Isn't build-depends meant
for that?
