populates `$ver`.
Switching to a hyphen however, results in a different bug:

I've attached patches to fix both issues.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] uscan: Fix misparsed version from filenamemangling result
in vcs
For packages that end with numbers, e.g. `udis86`, the `86` can end up being
prefixed into the detected version after a filename-mangling result. This fixes
that by tightening up the regex matching the package name portion.
