Yes there is experimental.
Chapter 2 of "Debian Reference" describe debian archive:
/project/:
mostly developer-only materials, such as:
project/experimental/:
This directory contains packages and tools which are
still being developed, and are still in the alpha testing
stage. Users shouldn't be using packages from here,
because they can be dangerous and harmful even for the
most experienced.
Used mostly for absolutely important Debian packages.
For your needs described above, existing normal "unstable" is sufficient.
