As the Debian maintainer of the Lua packages I have the following timeline:

1. Implement a lua40 package set and migrate the lua41 stuff to be called
lua41 instead of lua4

2. Implement a loadlibrary like thing (prolly use loadlib since it's there)

3. Make that the default lua for debian

4. Take as many extensions as I can find and add them to Debian as
loadlib'able extensions.

Unfortunately I don't know how much time I do/don't have to do it all in :(
