Well, you have to add the experimental distribution to your sources.list
if you want to be able to install packages from the experimental
distribution :-).

See: https://people.debian.org/~glaubitz/sources.list.experimental

You want to add this to your /etc/apt/preferences:

Package: *
Pin: release a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 1
