Interesting, I wonder where it is getting this from. I don't know the
first thing about Lua, so I can only guess what might be of interest.
There is some information beneath /usr/share/doc/lua and I can check
later whether I can find something enlightening there. Meanwhile, I
checked this:

$ cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/lua.pc
V=5.4
R=5.4.8

prefix=/usr
INSTALL_BIN=${prefix}/bin
INSTALL_INC=${prefix}/include
INSTALL_LIB=${prefix}/lib
INSTALL_MAN=${prefix}/man/man1
INSTALL_LMOD=${prefix}/share/lua/${V}
INSTALL_CMOD=${prefix}/lib/lua/${V}
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: Lua
Description: An Extensible Extension Language
Version: ${R}
Requires:
Libs: -L${libdir} -llua -lm
Cflags: -I${includedir}

That doesn't look suspicious to me, but then again, I probably just
looking in the wrong place.

Thanks,

Elias
