But that is not what I am after. I want to be able to say: Use this
git hash from this repository for 4.1 and 4.0 for any upcoming release
until I say otherwise (without having to use some special tag).

This is not about build procedure, but about release management. The
build procedure can be then part of the automation as you say, but I
won't be the one executing it, Jenkins will do that for me any time
you decide to do a compose.
