While broadly I agree, upstream packagers should be provided guidance.
We already have some problems with using pre-packaged Lua libraries
across different UNIXy systems because such guidance is not provided.

That guidance could be provided by an example pkg-config file, or
simply a document containing suggestions.

(I'm thinking specifically of, for example, the ability to have
multiple versions of Lua installed at once, if the headers are in their
own directory, etc etc.)
