Bug#863036: lua5.3 is not available in update-alternatives for lua(interpreter|compiler)

Followup-For: Bug #863036


Hi, I am unable to bump the lua B-D to 5.3 (for corsix-th) because there
is no /usr/bin/lua for running the tests with lua-busted. Does that
justify a higher severity since upgrading is a regression?

The version in unstable has the same bug. I don't know if Enrico dropped
the alternative system on purpose for lua5.3. I'll update the backport
when we decide what we do with this issue.

Package: lua5.3
Version: 5.3.1-1~bpo8+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
I wanted to set my default lua interpreter to lua5.3

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
Tried running

$ sudo update-alternatives --config lua-interpreter
There are 2 choices for the alternative lua-interpreter (providing
/usr/bin/lua).

  SelectionPath Priority   Status

* 0/usr/bin/lua5.2   120   auto mode
  1/usr/bin/lua5.1   110   manual mode
  2/usr/bin/lua5.2   120   manual mode

Similar output for lua-compiler

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
/usr/bin/lua5.3 is an option on this list
