Hi Paul,

thanks for caring about my "contrib" package! :)

I thought according to the recent threat on d-devel [1] packages that FTBFS on
some arches should rather just let it FTBFS instead of maintaining a list of
architectures the package can be built on?

Do you know more about Lua? I do not. If I change from libluajit-5.1-dev to
liblua5.1-dev I get:
