Hello Stefan!

As you already noticed, you need to install from experimental.

You'll also need to update alot of the dependencies for gnome-control-center.

apt(itude) will not upgrade packages to experimental version unless
you explicitly tell it to. So you either need to specify all packages
(dependencies of g-c-c) as you want to install from experimental
or take a shortcut and temporary set experimental as the default and
preferred distribution with "-t experimental" (which might pull in a bit
more from experimental then really necessary, but probably not much).

The transitions are being dealt with and you don't need to report
bugs about it. Again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience of the current
half-upgraded state.
