[Python-modules-team] Bug#892906: python-lupa: add lua build dependency

[Frédéric Bonnard]

Package: src:python-lupa
Version: 1.6+dfsg-1
Tags: patch pending

Dear maintainer,

I see that python-lupa misses libluajit build dependency on several
architectures, and that it's supposed to be compatible with lua, so
wouldn't it make sense to rely on liblua in case the build dependency
libluajit is not available ?
Also on ppc64el, the future of the luajit port is unsure (there also a
FTBFS on ppc64el for python-lupa).. so at some point if ppc64* support
is dropped from libluajit, we would still have a python-lupa (but working
this time).
I tried a simple patch and it builds and run tests fine on ppc64el.

Regards.
F.
