No, LuaRocks has always been capitalization sensitive for modules.

This should install Terminfo.lua with a capital T

This one is for informative purposes only. The rockspec file must be
all-lowercase, and package:lower() must match the rockspec name, but
package can be capitalized as one likes best, in order to show up in
the index page (e.g. LuaSocket, LuaSQL...)

If `modules = { ["Terminfo"] = "Terminfo.lua" }` installs terminfo.lua
in lowercase, then there's probably a bug somewhere. LuaRocks should
respect the casing of the module as specified by the author. (Having
different modules differing only on casing is probably bad for
portability, though.)
