Yes, it's unfortunate. Some light inspection (see below) suggests that 
*all* lua libs get installed under versioned dirs. Most of our lua 
packages seemed to work this way. I don't think hardlinks are a viable 
solution, since the versions get split into separate tarballs, which we 
can't practically annotate to indicate hardlinks. symlink is at least 
possible, but it's not clear how to organise.
