This is easy to fix in trusty, my only question is regarding the change
we would be introducing and the SRU policy.

Apache in trusty was released with essentially no lua support, and this
change would add that back in (as was the original intention). As a
consequence, the apache2-bin package would grow a dependency on
liblua5.1.

The other point is that apache2 in trusty-backports has such support, so
there is a way for people to get it if they really need it, and they
will also get a newer apache (2.4.10 currently). But without official
support, i.e., no promise of security updates.

And, one more point, it could be that this would also introduce security
issues which didn't affect trusty before, but now could, given the
presence of the new lua module in apache.
