The multiple tags are due to a change of worflow. The previous maintainer 
changed from using upstream tarball to upstream git repo. Thus the tags were 
duplicated when the upsteam git repo was merged in debian repo.

Unfortunately, removing tags is a messy business. I can remove them from the 
repo, but they'll be back the  next time a comaintainer pushes his work.

Given that the work-around on your side is quite simple (see below), I won't 
change the tags on the repo. Sorry.

Both will produce the correct tarball:
$ git diff upstream/1.9.1 v1.9.1
<no output>

you can get you tarball with the following command:
$ git deborig --version 1.9.1 upstream/1.9.1
$ ll ../libuv1_1.9.1.orig.tar.xz 
-rw-r--r-- 1 domi domi 896052 Jun  2 10:28 ../libuv1_1.9.1.orig.tar.xz

All the best
