I discussed some of this with him a long time ago, but it may be worth
revisiting, especially if we get to a more concrete and workable proposal.
I do remember (and understand) he doesn't want to use LR as a build system
for Debian packages, but I don't know his stance regarding adding
LR-specific metadata to .debs. One possible counter-argument might be "what
about LuaDist-specific metadata"... perhaps we need to come up with some
sort of agnostic manifest? That might be interesting (and if it got
traction, could even be supplied by upstream). What do you think? Peter?
