I hacked the scripts a little bit and made it happen, see
http://packages.debian.org/experimental/

However, this distribution differs from the other ones significantly with
the fact it depends on packages that aren't in it. Starting with libc6, most
if not all dependencies cannot be resolved within it, and the scripts
(obviously) aren't programmed to take other distributions into account.
