Well once you install a package with the ~ in the version, it should
keep upgrading it automatically after that (unless a non experimental
package with a higher version comes out and replaces it, then it will
stick with the normal version again until told otherwise again).

Whatever you tell it, it remembers.  So when told to install the
experimental version, then it will keep doing that as long as there are
updates.  Similarly one can do apt-get install foobar/unstable to
install the unstable version of that package on a system tagged to
default to stable or testing or whatever, and will keep upgrading to
whatever is the current unstable package.  apt-show-versions is a handy
tool for listing what is installed and what state it is in and what
release it is pulling from.
