    I run sid, with gnome from experimental. A very useful command in this
    situation (which I think will also get most of what you want) is
    'l', which allows you to limit the tree view. for example, l ~Aexper
    will limit the interactive screen view to packages from experimental.
    ~Atesting, ~Aunstable will limit the view to those 'releases',
    respectively.
