We have the same issue for xfce4-notifyd but then I assumed 0.9 was the
development branch leading to a 0.10 release for Xfce 4.20. So we pushed it to
experimental without too much fuss.
For xfce4-terminal it looks (to me) like a stable point release so I was
surprised.

I have no idea how packaging works on Arch, and specifically Xfce. But in
Debian we basically run the autoreconf thing so we need xfce4-dev-tools at
build time. And we can't build-dep on an experimental package in unstable (or
testing), so that's why xfce4-terminal would have to go to experimental as
well.

Well, if you have it and it's sensible, yes sure.
