It works, thanks. But it requires putting all the dependencies on the
command-line with their correct versions; and since it is GTK, there are
lots of them. So it is a lot less practical than using the -t option of
apt-get.

Anyway, I looked a bit further and noticed that the syntax of the
Release file was obsolete: apt-get was confused because the file didn't
contain the line "Suite: experimental". Adding it fixed the problem.
Switching to another Release file also fixed the problem.

So it looks like the files of the project/experimental tree needs to be
cleaned. This bug-report is a duplicate of bug #308445 as a consequence.
