I would recommend that you leave the symbolic versions alone:

 stable: spec
 	<symbolicVersion: #stable>
 	spec for: #'common' version: '1.0'.

In order to accomodate your different packages for different versions you should change the version1.0 spec to the following:

    version10: spec
        <version: '1.0' imports: #('1.0-baseline' )>

        spec for: #'common' do: [
                spec blessing: #'release'.
                spec description: 'version working well for Pharo 1.4'.
                spec author: 'StephaneDucasse'.
                spec timestamp: '2/10/2013 17:46'.
                spec package: 'Phexample' with: 'Phexample-StephaneDucasse.68'. ].

        spec for: #'pharo2.x' do: [
                spec package: 'Phexample' with: 'Phexample-StefanMarr.67'. ].

With this spec, you are declaring that Phexample-StephaneDucasse.68 be used for all platforms except Pharo2.x where Phexample-StefanMarr.67 should be used instead...
