Since he is on the Cc ... please?

This is good, since jppy doesn't need any dpes on pilot-link

I would add
	python-pisock (>= 0.11.8-0.12.0-pre4-4)
	pilot-link (>= 0.11.8-0.12.0-pre4-4)
so people would *need* to install the experimental packages.

Yes, that is a good idea.

I think it is hopeless. IF (!!) Ludovic creates an experimental package
you could depend on this (>=) but who knows. 

Best wishes
