Debian unstable is *not* intended for release of unstable code.  It is 
intended for stable code, which needs to be tested together - i.e. being 
unstable as *distribution*.

So if a release of Asterisk is known ahead to be unstable in itself, 
then you are right that it is better suited for experimental.

(I am no saint here - I have not broken that golden rule multiple times 
myself over time...)
