You need to have backrefs already in the first part to make sure you are actually replacing repeats, otherwise it will simply reduce every line to one token (or two, if you require a trailing space after the replacement). Also you need to make up your mind on whether your sed requires a backslash before grouping parentheses or not.
I used * instead of +; if your sed understands the plus, then by all means use that.

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), sed(1).
