You might also consider using apt-pinning (see [1] and also "man
apt_preferences").  For instance, if you add the experimental line above to
sources.list and create the following /etc/apt/preferences file:

    Package: *
    Pin: release a=unstable
    Pin-Priority: 700

    Package: jed jed-common
    Pin: release a=experimental
    Pin-Priority: 800

then all packages besides jed and jed-common will be obtained from unstable,
avoiding the problem mentioned by Guenter.
