Norbert has sent your request upstream, and got the following
response from Taco:

<snip>
Here is my opinion on those patches:

luafilesystem: that local patch will go away soon (it is possible to
  slide the new functions in elsewhere, where they are not interfering
  with the upstream).

luasocket: this (hstrerror) patch is good thing to go upstream.

luazip: this is not a local patch, I am just using an outdated
version.
<snap>

So, please push the patch for luasocket upstream or put the patch
into Debian. I'll ask Taco, whether he has already an opinion
regarding the patch for luafilesystem.

Thanks,
  Hilmar
