It's still a problem. If you want luarocks for Lua 5.3, it should be
built from source. I think there are like only few 5.3 libraries in
Ubuntu repository, like json parser and probably lpeg.
As a result, I have to pack pretty much all required stuff using local
luarocks tree with my application instead of, like, just listing
required packages to be installed (because end users do not want to
have fun with installing and configuring luarocks and libraries
installed using it, which would not be the case with apt).
