Hi,
Generally the server-team would be ok with Lua5.4 - but we need to avoid adding more and more versions concurrently.

For older Lua versions being held in main I found:
- apache2-bin depends on lua5.2
- dovecot depends depends on lua5.3

If those two could move to lua5.4 we could have "just one" lua version supported.
It seems that isn't too trivial as it took time to get 5.1 dropped (bug 1324062).
And we currently have 5.2/5.3 in main at the same time.

Vice versa as long as the servers that made us support lua5.[23] can't move on to a new version I'd prefer to stick to lua5.3 which (thanks to Gunnar) right now works fine in ibus-libpinyin.

I filed a bug 1910372 against apache2/dovecot for it to get rid of 5.2 at least.
And to (further down the road) we can jointly move to 5.4 later.

For ibus-libpinyin I'd ask to keep it at lua5.3 as it is now until bug 1910372 is resolved to the extend that we know if apache2/dovecot will be able to move to 5.4 sometime soon (<=22.04 for example)
