Because the mix of:

(tightened stripping of dfsg and version correction all in one regex)

and

doesn't work well. Since DEHS already stripped +dfsg by the time uscan
applies the regular expression, nothing is changed.

Instead of adding yet another workaround I'll close this bug report as soon
as the extra stripping code is dropped from DEHS and the DDPO. Since I want
to get rid of it, I'll file bugs on the packages where their watch file
doesn't properly mangle the Debian version and after a grace period of time
(two or three weeks) I'll go ahead and remove the code.
