Have you tried it locally, if it works ? Once you verify it, I'm okay to add a
dependency, like "luajit | lua". I hope that'll suffice for this bug report ?

For an upload to experimental, to test it, should be fine to add such a build
dependency. But not for an upload to unstable.


On another note, if you have more interest in BCC.
https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/issues/873

The BCC folks do not have a very clear message in the documentation stating that
it only is supported for 64 bit architectures.


In my initial packaging, it failed to build on i386 (and armhf). My patch got it
to build on i386 but I haven't been able to runtime verify it. If you have an
interest, you can try it on an armhf/i386 box too ? The tools that BCC provides
are really cool and having them run on more architectures will be nicer.
