i'm afraid mate1.4 is not compatible (yet) with latest. you are using UP4, UP5 is being tested atm and should be released until the end of this month.
mate1.4 requires testing to run http://mate-desktop.org/install/#debian (you will find for sure some incompatibilities trying to add that repo to your default setup)

To be precise, adding the repo works fine. It's the MATE packages that depend on some too new stuff.
The package named mate-core used to depend on gnome keyring | mate-keyring, now it depends strictly on mate-keyring, and the new mate-keyring is not currently installable:

Oh noes! libfontconfig1 >= 2.9.0 struck us again!

Wait... what? A keyring management package depending on a font configuration library?

easier to manually upgrade the kernel than this
