They're no longer in Debian experimental, but in unstable. If you want the
packages to be in Ubuntu, the best way to achieve that is to ask for a sync
report, so that the packages from Debian are imported into Ubuntu. AFAIK there
should be no ubuntu-specific changes, so there's no reason not to sync directly.
Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess
