Downgrade the following packages:
bug-buddy [2.16.0-1 (experimental, now) -> 2.14.0-4 (testing, unstable)]
evince [0.6.1-1 (experimental, now) -> 0.4.0-3 (testing)]
gimp-data [2.3.13-1 (experimental, now) -> 2.2.13-1 (testing, unstable)]
gtk2-engines [1:2.8.2-2 (experimental, now) -> 1:2.8.2-1 (testing, unstable)]
gtk2-engines-pixbuf [2.10.7-1 (experimental, now) -> 2.8.20-4 (unstable)]
libgimp2.0 [2.3.13-1 (experimental, now) -> 2.2.6-1sarge1 (stable)]

librsvg2-common [2.16.0-3 (experimental, now) -> 2.14.4-2 (testing, unstable)]
Score is -298
Given that my Request-Strictness is set to 10000 (which is now the default,
I believe), this score is too high; my guess is that it thinks having evince
0.4.0-3 satisfies my request for "evince/experimental". In any case, it
appears to be quite impossible to ask it to drop all "solutions" mentioning
evince from testing/unstable, short of removing them from the local Packages
files.
This has happened many years ago, before the resolver was heavily
reworked in the last few years.
I am not sure if the situation is better now due to aptitude having into
account that "experimental" is the default release for this operation,
or if it's worse because it considers that versions for experimental are
not default for the other packages that you didn't request.
Have you had some recent-ish experience with this, and remember if it
behaves in the same way?
You probably know about this, but in general, if the upgrade to
experimental is indeed possible, you can guide the solution easily by
rejecting all downgrades to testing/unstable and asking for the next
solutions.
Cheers.
