I concur with Martin, if we're only talking about optional dependencies this should just be a case of adding the PACKAGECONFIG options to the recipes in OE-Core (or whereever they happen to be), with lua remaining in meta-oe. However I am aware that lua may be a hard dependency for upcoming versions of stuff we do have in OE-Core (I can't recall which). We'll have to cross that bridge when we come to it.
