Brent, debian is trying to do a new release, hence all new packets go to 
experimental in the meantime.  Using experimental is otherwise dangerous 
if you use many packets from it, but if you take one packet from time to 
time, the danger is limited to that packet only.

As ekiga 4.0 is much better than 3.2.7, there is no danger to install 
ekiga 4.0 from experimental.
