If everyone shipping code is in rough agreement, you might as well give it a name. Actually, that's not quite it--you're reducing the number of names, since currently everyone has their own name for their patched version.

How about a clearly self-deprecating name like LuaRoughSocket 5.2.0.x, or LuaSocket crescente5.2[1]  with a banner <h2>this will be stubbed/symlinked/dpkg-replaced out of existence later</h2>?
