I've just noticed that aptitude upgraded packages from unstable to
experimental versions (just with 'U' from the UI) without any warning!!!
Again.

Is there any replacement? Or a way to make aptitude ignore
experimental packages?

Note: I still want to keep experimental in my sources.list for the
cases where I *explicitly* request experimental packages.
