If you want to keep up with nautilus1.1 releases, you'll need 

APT::Default-Release experimental; 

in /etc/apt/apt.conf, otherwise apt will not recognize any updates to
experimental. I installed nautilus1.1-1.1.15 using the same steps
Rodriqo mentioned, but when nautilus1.1 went from 1.1.15 to 1.1.16, apt
claimed I already had the latest release until I added the above line to
apt.conf.

A reminder though: this is the experimental branch; debian developers
assume you can fix your own system and that you won't complain to them
if you install anything from experimental and it breaks your box
(they'll take a bug report though:). That said, in my experience,
nautilus1.1 is stable and dependable.
