I think this would be a great move forwards. I think at the same time as providing this new upgrade feature, it would be worth either improving the configure script to detect more common cases (e.g. includes at /usr/include/lua5.1 on Debian/Ubuntu) or providing more documentaion for common distros. The reason for this is that for many users, manual installation may become preferred to using the distribution-provided luarocks package.
