I'm no ruby expert, but the logic looks pretty dubious to me.
The decision to choose the latest is based on whether or not there is a
dash (-) in the filename.  (Line 169 of pkg_fetch).
As a result,
Postgresql74-server sets latest to false.  
Postgresql74 sets latest to true, however there is no such thing as
postgresql74 in packages, it is either -client or -server, etc.
I think the author was intending to use the - to indicate the beginning
of a version number, but that logic is somewhat flawed given the package
naming conventions.

Fair enough; please report the bug to the author :)
