Comment 4 for bug 2026608

Thank you, LGTM!
MIR team ACK.

#1: Please outline the migration plan for lua5.3 -> lua5.4.
    Will it all be done in the Mantic cylce? When can we expect to demote 5.3?
    [RESOLVED] via comment #3

#2: does not have a non-trivial test suite that runs as autopkgtest
    [RESOLVED]

#3a: does not have a test suite that runs at build time
#3b: test suite fails will not fail the build upon error.

    [RESOLVED]

#4: symbols tracking is not in place, is there a specific reason for that?
    [RESOLVED]

#5: the current release is not packaged (current: 5.4.6, lacking 1.5 years behind)
    [RESOLVED]

#6: debian/rules does lots of stuff, not very clean.
    Generally, I feel like the packaging could need some love, see #7 / #8
    [DOWNGRADE] to Recommended TODO, as I think this is manageable

#10: Please work with the Debian maintainer to get the versions back in sync.
     I guess we don't want to diverge on toolchain packages like this.
     [ADDED] as a new Recommended TODO
