No, don't worry, it wasn't. Old versions of LuaRocks had a bug parsing dependency names contaning underscores (yeah, silly, I know -- sorry about that!). About the 1.1-0 vs. 1.1-1: that's not a problem. The trailing revision numbers refer to a rockspec revision, rather than a package version. My policy is to number each change made to a rockspec pushed to the repo as a different revision number, and to start them with -1. Often devs keep their upstream rockspec numbered at -0, and that's not a problem. In a sense it even helps to differentiate between the upstream and the reviewed rockspec, though I don't mind to receive rockspecs for new versions numbered at -1 (it actually saves me a little work :) ). The dependency system knows how to handle the revision numbers, so they're not a problem.
