Well, I would choose b), but my opinion is completely unimportant.
I would expect there will be some requirements from ftpmasters, among them
rule "main must be rebuildable within main".

Last changelog entry in 
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/glibc-bsd/trunk/glibc-2.3/debian/changelog?op=file
is about 2.3-1+kbsd.10 not about 2.3-1+kbsd.11

There are glibc_2.3-1+kbsd.dsc and glibc_2.3-1+kbsd.diff.gz,
but again not current glibc_2.3-1+kbsd.11.dsc and glibc_2.3-1+kbsd.11.diff.gz

I haven't been aware about this.

Will be possible to have them in experimental AND unreleased 
before day D (inclusion in official archive), and reuploaded 
in official unstable after ?

Due to showed problems it might be better to wait before inclusion,
but problem with missing BTS will persist.
