Steps to Reproduce

Create a git tag starting with a v

$ git tag -a v0.0.3 -m "0.0.3: bug in goreleaser snapshot if the tag starts with a v"
$ git tag
0.1.0
v0.0.3

Generate the .deb using goreleaser --snapshot --rm-dist
Install this .deb

root@test-gobby:~# dpkg -i /tmp/gobby_v0.0.3_b10d29d694fbf3ec3452df21e819ea91f6d90b6a_linux_64-bit.deb

 /tmp/gobby_v0.0.3_b10d29d694fbf3ec3452df21e819ea91f6d90b6a_linux_64-bit.deb

Expected behavior:

I expected to be able to install the .deb without error.

Actual behavior:

I received an error related to the version not starting with a digit.

error in 'Version' field string 'v0.0.3': version number does not start with digit
