Notice that I said "_non_-live" and the "<" char in the line. I would use the stanza (as you said) because if 1.4.0 is not stabilized before something like 1.4.1 is added to tree, and 1.4.0 gets deleted, you are facing the same problem all over again. As in, <xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager-9999 with the < means "I want latest non-live version."
