The shell version of jh_installlibs used sed which is apparently more
forgiving (or possibly does not handle "+" like perl does).  Attempting
to emulate sed's behaviour will never be a perfect match.

Maintainers of jython and jsurf-alggeo: You presumably wanted to match a
literal "+", in which case please escape it (by using e.g. [+] like the
htsjdk package).

 * The jython variant then becomes --version-strip="[+].*"
 * The jsurf-alggeo variant becomes --version-strip="[+]ds"

Thanks,
