Added a `epoch=0` and a stub to remove from $pkgver the leading `t` in upstreams package version. The stub is commented out, since https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_package_guidelines#Package_versioning suggests that the letter is indeed to be kept if upstream has it, but in case that it should be removed it is easy to do it.
