Bastian:
As I understand the module, for over a year now the latest Lua module
from OpenResty requires LuaJIT to actually compile. See
https://salsa.debian.org/nginx-team/libnginx-mod-http-lua/-/blob/main/debian/control#L8
where this is in the build deps.
I have not tested removing the PCRE3 build dependency here, but because
OpenResty has refused to change the Lua library to be any Lua support
other than 5.1, it requires LuaJIT in order to provide 'continued
support' for Lua 5.1 bytecode.
It is my understanding that the pcre2/pcre3 dependency may not be
needed, but I have not deep dived into the Lua packaging recently. I'm
running a test build from the tagged data in Salsa locally to see if it
builds without the pcre2/pcre3 devel libraries in build-deps.

Thomas, can you please explain why this package still builds when
nginx has moved to pcre2? I do not get it.
