I had a quick look at this one, and while the change seems simple enough, there are two important questions to answer before we can move it forward:
1. Why do we need libluajit-5.1 instead of liblua5.1? I imagine it's a performance issue, but in order to propose the change for a SRU we need a concrete case that shows that what Bionic currently ships is not adequate.
2. Is the change safe enough to satisfy the SRU requirements [1]? We should be really sure that switching to liblua to libluajit isn't going to cause regressions in production systems, so this point should be made in a very solid way. At the moment I wouldn't be able to.
