because we we want to drop this repo a long time ago - it wasn't our best idea 4 years ago. It's gone for ever.

hello vilde,

according to agaida it was a naming issue, that caused a lot of unwanted installations.
But no worries, the devs now have their experimental playgrounds elsewhere.

I don't even know why I had siduction experimental enabled in my repo, I have debian experimental and probably that's what I wanted. Occasionally I install something from debian eperimental, for example iceweasel.
