Specifically, I was thinking something like this would work:

package_regex.inc has an optional new variable, REGEX_PV_FILTER.  If
set, this will be used with re.sub to filter the PV extracted by
REGEX. Something cloning the syntax of Perl's s/// operator maybe,
using / to split the input RE and the replacement string.

i.e. REGEX_PV_FILTER_pn-docbook = "\./" would replace all dots with
the empty string, thus changing 1.2.3 into 123.
