I have unstable and experimental enabled in sources.list, and on
/etc/apt/apt.conf I have the line APT::Default-Release "unstable";

As you see bellow, experimental is given a priority of 1, and I think it is
against common sense.

If I *consciously* install a package from experimental, I would like to *be
aware of, and upgrade to, all the updates that come into experimental*
before the package comes into unstable. When the package comes into
unstable, apt will forget about the experimental version of the package.

By the way, the experimental release of debian-multimedia.org  is given a
priority of 500 and I find it OK. What I do not understand is the priority 1
for the experimental release of the official Debian packages.
