In experimental we already upload the experimental branch from upstream,
whereas sid/unstable tracks upstreams' trunk branch.
That's why they have the word `experimental' in the version number.

I'm not so sure I get the point of your report, because it looks more
like a general request then a specific request to update the version in
there.
Maybe you just missed that we already have packages in experimental?
See e.g. http://packages.debian.org/source/grub2
