The The semantics of the three number in a .so file is not what you have in mind. They express ABI/API compatibility (between two releases of the same library, not w.r.t. another library or an interpreter that may load them). A good source of info is the libtool manual.

Bug#498416: Lua library-names
Hello, The library-names of lua are totaly wrong. To be consistent with standards the libraries name should be p.e. “liblua.so.5.1.0” instead of “liblua5.1.so.0.0.0”. The pkg-config-name should be “lua”. There should be packages liblua50-dev, liblua51-dev, etc. which provide liblua-dev. But this has apparently be broken by upstream.

The naming is intentional. Please review the README.Debian.gz doc file on any of the packages, which explains the rationale.
