Yup, should have checked further earlier - missing *$* before {BB} in
postinstall/preremove alternatives script generation:
$ fgrep -C1 alternatives gnuplot-5.4.rc2-0.src/gnuplot-5.4.rc2-0.cygport
cat > ${PN}-${BB}.postinstall <<EOF
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/gnuplot gnuplot
/usr/bin/gnuplot-{BB}.exe ${APRIO}

EOF
