looking through potential problems of packages in my area of interest, i
stumbled across pd-cyclone, which seems to have an incorrect
debian/watch file: debian package is "0.1~alpha55-2" while uscan finds
the upstream "0.1-alpha53-src" to be more recent..

i added a versionmangler to get rid of the trailing "-src" part, but the
real problem is of course the "-alpha".

personally i would suggest to replace "-alpha" by "." (or ".alpha"),
using a versionmangle clause.
i'm wondering though, why the debian package version uses "~", which
kind of clashes with the upstream version scheme, esp. as it is not
taken care of in debian/watch.
