If I have a callback called just after paragraph has been split into lines,
would not be enough to count the number of hboxes in the vbox the paragraph
itself is contained ? Cannot say it’s ideal (easier to simply read tex.prevgraf
for sure), but might be possible, unless I missed something (totally possible).
In a couple of cases I see \prevgraf being larger than number of lines of
previous paragraph, including lines for paragraph before than one as well.
Could not create a MWE unfortunately to reproduce this case so far.
I’ll try to amend my dropcaps/lettrine logic then. What are the reasons behind
this change in \prevgraf TeX primitive which AFAIK exists since TeX has been
written ? I thought that one of the strong points in TeX was overall stability
of its behaviour among versions. Here with this semantic change in \prevgraf in
recent luatex, this stability is a bit broken IMO.

but .. that one is then still on the same page; in fact, you should
check for realpage being changed then

prevgraf is still ok after a 7 line paragraph but ... when you cross a
page, and have say 4 lines moved to the next one, then a 7 line
hangafter would be wrong (you can check if a par is on the same page)
with callbacks after breaking in lines you still don't know ...
