Yes it needs (there are too many exceptions to handle).

But I see this case as a packaging bug: I fail to understand
why you had to append an extra ".0" to the upstream version number.

I already have in my blacklist other examples of "creative"
packaging version number conversions.  For example:
* Smart-Comments-v1.0.2      -> perl-Smart-Comments-1.000002-1
  (same thing for Module-Starter-PBP-v0.0.3)
I'm ok with removing the 'v' character but I'm not ok with the
version number expansion from 1.0.2 to 1.000002.  This kind of
version number expansion is only valid for the main perl package
but not for CPAN modules.
