This is actually the convertion function with regular expression: 

function vers_conv($debvers) {
	preg_match("/(.+:)?([^-]+)(ds|dsfg|debian)/",$debvers,$matches);
	if (!$matches[3]) {
		unset($matches);
		preg_match("/(.+:)?([^-]+)/",$debvers,$matches);
	}
	if (substr($matches[2],-1)=='.') $matches[2]=substr($matches[2],0,-1);
	return $matches[2];
}

How do u suggest to modify regular expression?
