That will pull *all* unmet deps from experimental,
which is Bad Mojo.
If you use the form
apt-get install foo/experimental
it'll still use your default policy, except for foo.
IOW it's far less dangerous, but you'll need to keep manually resolving
deps by adding stuff like
libfoo1-common/experimental
until it's happy.
Possibly you could do that latter with aptitude's interactive dep
resolution.
Mostly I use aptitude's TUI for cherry-picking,
which is easier but tedious to explain in prose.
And for some reason everybody else seems to hate it.
