Our major usecase:  we have a lot of rocks (compilable, ie contains *.so 
and various 3rd party deps), this set more or less stable, not 
frequently changed (may be once per month), and this set is common for 
most of our application. We call it "platform".

Also we have set of application specific rocks, they are updated 
frequently, they are live in /usr/local and we install them via 
luarocks. (this set of rocks should be moved to sandboxes, like python's 
virtualenv or buildout, and we do this sometimes).
This is pure lua packages, not required any compilation to install, and 
all their dependencies should be resolveable via LR.

We want to make first set, called _platform_ installable via system 
package managers (like dpkg/apt-get). It allow us avoid many problems 
with dependency, multiarch support, and others things, where LR weak.
