Hmm, I can either package it in the "Debian version" of lua 4.0 or else I
could provide an "alternative" liblua package.

My current favourite is to make the symbol exposed but guard the definition
of it in lua.h with something like

#ifdef DEBIAN_LOADBUFFER
....
#endif

How does that sit with people?
