Thanks. I tried -experimental resolver and it successfully installed required 
dependency from "experimental". However -experimental resolver do not fail 
when required version of dependency is not available: when only "unstable" 
suite is enabled -experimental resolver quietly install older version of 
dependency which causes FTBFS later on.
-classic resolver correctly fail in "unstable" when required version of 
dependency is not available even though it fails to install it from 
"experimental" when it is possible.

-aptitude resolver is superior but currently affected by #820493...
