Note: You will not automatically install the experimental versions of
the packages if there are other sources. Experimental is automatically
pinned bellow 100 I believe. To get a package from unstable you would
have to do something like,
apt-get -t experimental install <package>
I believe thats the correct syntax, but I havent used experimental since
the gnome2 transition.
