That doesn't answer my question and instead just raises more.  We
typically strip meaningless version prefixes such as "v", (weird)
spellings of the package name, etc.  Why is cj special in this regard?

Also for hugs, we could be using CalVer as far as I can see, though
it's unlikely to receive a version bump after 15 years.
