Yes and now. The interpreter, for example, does not depend on liblua5.1-0 because it is statically linked against it but exports the relevant symbols to the libraries it loads. And even if a dependency over "lua5.1 | liblua5.1-0" is partially broken, because any package could do what lua5.1 does. Maybe a virtual package lua5.1-runtime or something, but these deps cannot be versioned. So in my opinion, lua libraries have not to depend on the interpreter. In this particular case, I installed the libraries in a path the interpreter in testing does not know. IMO it is really borderline, and the fault is just that I didn't wait the interpreter to move to testing before uploading the libs. For backporting, this may be an issue, but I've no good solution, even if I'm open to suggestions.
