The DESCR files in lua51, lua52 and lua53 are all the same. It would be nice if someone who understands added a final paragraph to each explaining about each one being old/recommended/bleeding-edge -- to me, that's the important part in a DESCR like this since "the lua package has lua" is fairly obvious :-) Separately, I wonder if we should be changing the default version. Currently it's 5.2, which leads me to the conclusion that 5.1 is old (and anyone using/needing it should upgrade) and that that 5.3 is still too new/bleeding-edge for normal use. But I am not convinced that's right - looking at the release dates at http://www.lua.org/ftp/ it seems to support the theory: lua51 is no longer maintained and migration is overdue lua52 is stable/old and users should start migrating lua53 is stable/current
