Many thanks! I added that line to my sources.list and tried to
install. apt-get doesn't event download the new luatex! Hence the
upgrade still fails. apt-cache policy says:

sid:~# apt-cache policy luatex
luatex:
  Installed: 0.40.6-1+b1
  Candidate: 0.45.0-2
  Version table:
     0.45.0-2 0
        500 http://people.debian.org experimental/main Packages
     0.44.0-2 0
          1 http://ftp2.de.debian.org experimental/main Packages
     0.43.0-2 0
        500 http://people.debian.org experimental/main Packages
     0.43.0-1 0
        500 http://people.debian.org experimental/main Packages
 *** 0.40.6-1+b1 0
        500 http://ftp2.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I'd expect that apt-get installs luatex before trying to upgrade
texlive-base. When using pure experimental I get a different output:

sid:~# apt-cache policy luatex
luatex:
  Installed: 0.40.6-1+b1
  Candidate: 0.40.6-1+b1
  Version table:
     0.44.0-2 0
          1 http://ftp2.de.debian.org experimental/main Packages
 *** 0.40.6-1+b1 0
        500 http://ftp2.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Maybe that information is somewhat helpful.

Thanks again,
  Hilmar
