This will break as soon as any field of the version goes beyond 9:
a \d alone does not match '10'.

Given that upstream version begins with v, you may want to do:

uversionmangle=s/(v\d+)-/$1./

This way, uversionmangles deals only with the first field and leave the other 
alone. This is more robust to potential upstream changes.
