I'd prefer not to pin all of experimental, so that evil script looks

The script is better than the script Jeff Waugh mailed me, which scanned
parsed the output of dpkg -l...
I suggest that both of these are documented in the x-window-system-core
(or wherever is more relevant) package, in an FAQ or README.
