The context is that this is game is mainly written in Lua +
some C++ glue code and I've no idea how Lua libraries work.

So I'll spend some time to learn that properly.


This lua-lpeg depedency is there because I was until recently a user
of the  .deb provided by GetDeb and I noticed after an update
that the game was spewing a runtime error about this missing lib;
installing lua-lpeg solved the problem 

I told GetDeb maintainer to add this to the package depedencies,
without explicitely stating weither this should go in Build-Dep or Dep.

And then I started from this list of depedencies to build my package.
