As explained in my previous mail, experimental is no full distribution
to upgrade to, so as a security measure, experimental packages are never
automatically installed by apt-get if not explicitly requested by the user.
So you can safely add experimental to your /etc/apt/source.list and
apt-get dist-upgrade will not upgrade to the packages in
experimental automatically, you will still have to explicitly
request a certain package (or a family of them) from
experimental by stating the distribution after the package name and a slash.
