Bug Description

In trusty 14.04, vlc 2.1.4 is packaged with vlsub extension (/usr/lib/vlc/lua/extensions/VLSub.luac) but the 2.1 serie of vlc contraly to 2.0 and 2.2 do not contains the vlc.net interface necessary for it.

Please remove it from the package, it will never work but it's exposed to every user.
