This "experimental" is a bit different beast.  If some software is not
ready to be included into unstable, but we as DD wish to get a bit wider
testing than via our own personal web sites, we upload there.

We as DD are supposed to upload packages to "unstable" if they are in
quality ready for release.  Packages (semi)automatically migrates 
 unstable -> testing -> stable.

But experimental does not migrate to unstable.
