Just add this packman mirror to your installation sources :
No, that would pull in a bunch of unnecessary packages. Until smart supports the "experimental" channel, it's deactivated.
No it does not "pull in a bunch of unnecessary packages".
Where did you get the impression that everything in a repository is "pulled in"?

21.0MB of package files are needed. 36.8MB will be used.
