There should be a fixed version of xfce4-power-manager in unstable already:

 xfce4-power-manager (0.8.5-3) unstable; urgency=low
 .

   * Switch to 3.0 (quilt) source format.
   * debian/patches:
     - 01_assume-hal-is-available.patch: do not check for hal presence on
       the bus, it'll be spawned automatically on demand.        Closes: #612611
     - 02_fix-indirect-dso-linking.patch: fix FTBFS with --no-add-needed.
     - series: add them.
   * debian/rules: call xdt-autogen before configure, and clean up
     autogenerated files on clean.
   * debian/control:
     - build-depends on automake, autoconf, libtool and xfce4-dev-tools.
     - bump hal dep to (>= 0.5.14-4~) for the dbus activation.
     - add myself to Uploaders.
 .
   [ Yves-Alexis Perez ]
   * debian/control:
     - update standards version to 3.9.1.
