It is indeed odd that sh-mode defaults to something other than GNU style.
GNU style for shell scripts, and many scripts in the libc code base, long
predate the introduction of sh-mode.

OK.  Of course, this could also be done without sed.

I was looking at the second use.

This looks OK enough now.  The install.texi addition is adequate for

test-wrapper and test-wrapper-env variables in general.
