What's the interest of having lua (whatever version) in wireshark? As far as I know, lua bindings are not needed for proper operation of wireshark. They can add scripting support to Wireshark, for making complicated things, but it could be made optional in the book... Also, going back to an old version of a package, because a patch does not apply anymore to use a newer version might not be the best way to get the "latest and greatest"... Or maybe this is the other way around: we should check what needs lua in the book, and maybe remove the latest version... Or remove it completely, if it is optional.
