Each package in "stable" and "development" version?

No.
For a simple reason: Everything at "stable" is one distribution (stable version), everything at "experimental" is another (development version). Giving each indivual package a stable/development knob gives you not two but an almost infinite number of alternatives... What if OOo-stable breaks with glibc-development? And so on.
OTOH, sometimes in a distro there is a limited form of this, in form of "try this one if the vanilla version breaks" packages and development snapshots for tryout.
