Strange, here it gives me the exact same result :
apt-show-versions | grep -c /experimental
99
aptitude search ~S~i~Aexperimental | wc -l
99
Maybe it's because some packages are no longer seen as being in
experimental, they are listed as "none" (obsolete or locally installed)
in the archive field. Maybe they will reappear with:
aptitude search ~S~i\(~Aexperimental\|~Anone\) | wc -l
but then you will also list locally installed packages.
Here I "pin" experimental at 101 to get automatic upgrade only on
already installed packages.
