Are we drawing a distinction between: needs libraries and links against them needs to run the interpreter It seems these are different, although many packages may need to do both. So I guess the question is whether linking against lua libraries should also record a dependency on a lua interpreter as a run-time tool. (Not really about the present situation, but I'm still not wild about us using "tool" to mean both programs needed at run and programs needed at build time. We've had discussions before about making pkgsrc closer to being cross buildable, and the host vs target difference between these two uses is critical, yet blurred.)
