Upstream have changed one of my package's versioning on the tarball

The last uploaded version was 20150908 and now there is an upstream
tarball with the version "2015.10.08".
The watch file was simple:
version=3
opts=uversionmangle=s/-//g \
http://ifdo.pugmarks.com/~seymour/runabc/top.html abcMIDI-(.*)\.zip
But now a uscan --repack tells me that:
Newest version on remote site is 2015.10.08, local version is 20150908
=> remote site does not even have current version
I am not sure what I should be mangling here, uversionmangle, or
dversionmangle, or both.
The upstream versioned was 2013-09-15, and you had uversionmangle rule
to get rid of hyphens.
All you need to do is to update the uversionmangle rule so that it gets
rid of dots instead.

Why are you keeping the old versioning scheme if upstream has changed
to a different scheme?
The scheme Debian currently uses is good enough.
And to change it, you'd have to add epoch. Nobody likes epochs.
