Oh wait.
I did find the link you mention.
Also, for some reason, aptitude and apt are not getting a file list
from the experimental repo (and a couple others).
(getting this:
W: GPG error: http://debian.dc-uoit.net stable Release: The following
signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not
available: NO_PUBKEY 07DC563D1F41B907
W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/Release
Unable to find expected entry  experimental/binary-amd64/Packages in
Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
and seeing Ign: in front of several repositories when updating).
Server down?
Likely if I can get that resolved (or wait for the server to be back up?)
then I can solve this problem as you mention, with the debian
experimental files.
