That's the responsibility of the Debian maintainer. The system package 
includes its own rockspec. LR will ask the system where to look for the extra 
rockspecs. Push anything that's system-specific into a hook and make it the 
distribution's problem.

Actually, looking at the current Debian luarocks, I think it's already capable 
of finding system packages if they start including rockspecs. They just have 
to rebuild the manifest when being installed. I suppose that needs an update-
manifest option to luarocks-admin.
