I only have the Debian unstable repositories so I guess for Debian it is the 
other way around, i.e. you have to add special experimental repositories to 
get the new versions.

The reason is most likely that Debian's process works differently. Things enter 
at Unstable and automatically move to Testing after a certain time (two weeks 
IIRC) if there are no packaging conflicts. And at some point Testing becomes 
the next Stable.

So Debian needs to make decisions on viability for Stable more or less before 
letting something into Unstable.

If I understand correctly other distributions that are somewhat similar to 
Debian Unstable do not have that automatism when it comes to their respective 
Stables, e.g. if we treat Fedora as a kind of Unstable/Testing for Red Hat, 
then Red Hat will still apply manual selection from things that have been 
successfully deployed on Fedora systems.

No idea how Kubuntu selects packages for their Stable product.

Cheers,
Kevin
