Dear Peter,

note that uscan has an option to mangle the version number, which is useful in
that case.  See the following extract of the uscan manpage.

       # Similarly, the upstream part of the Debian version number can be
       # mangled:
       opts=dversionmangle=s/\.dfsg\.\d+$// \
         http://some.site.org/some/path/foobar-(.+)\.tar\.gz

Have a nice day,
