Currently lua-json is unusable in Trusty:

+++-=================================-=====================-=====================-=======================================================================
| ii lua-json 1.3-1 all
JSON decoder/encoder for Lua
| scfc@toolsbeta-webproxy:~$
This is apparently the same issue as in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=719519 which was fixed by upgrading to 1.3.2.
+
+
+ [Test Case]
+ 1. Install packages lua5.1 (or lua5.2) and lua-json.
+ 2. Expected behaviour:
+
+ | scfc@toolsbeta-test-trusty:~$ lua
+ | Lua 5.1.5 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
+ | > require('json')
+ | > print(json.encode({'a', 'b', 'c'}))
+ | ["a","b","c"]
+ | > ^D
+ | scfc@toolsbeta-test-trusty:~$
+
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 1. lua-json has no reverse dependencies, so an update will not affect other
packages.
+ 2. Lua only loads extensions on request. Applications not using
"require('json')" will not attempt to read the files to be packaged by lua-json
1.3.2, so even a build error should not affect other Lua applications.
+ 3. Lua applications using "require('json')" never worked in Trusty and will
start working. In theory, a currently deployed system may rely on it failing.
