I think it's a fine idea, but how would this work for those modules
that are indeed "lua >= 5.1" supported? Would we need additional
"really" flag to indicate 5.2 support: "lua >= 5.1 really" (kidding)?
Or would those rockspecs that haven't been updated for more than X
days/month be updated to include "lua == 5.1"?

For example, my Mobdebug module specified "lua >= 5.1" as its
dependency and it indeed works with 5.1 and 5.2 as advertised (or at
least as much as I tested it with 5.2). I wouldn't want that to be
interpreted as "< 5.2".
