Dear Maintainer,

When reporting a bug about a package that also have a version in
experimental it suggested me to install a version from there.

Experimental packages should not be suggested during a bug report.

/etc/apt/preferences

Package: *
Pin: release a=sid
Pin-Priority: 901


Package: *
Pin: release a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 100
