I had tried that with "-t testing", but that fetched 400 MB of guff, lost X, and there was no longer any gdm to be found.
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.
