This is due to, actually "trepl" doesn't B-D on the "lua-torch-torch7-dev"
package. It is a runtime dependency. I'll leave a comment there.

Keeping this runtime B-D there because it declares explicit dependency
relationship.

I've thought about spliting it up -- inspece verbose dh build and
extract the library compilation commands into d/rules -- however this
makes d/rules complicated with hardcoded compiles.

Seems that dh_lua didn't foresee such a demand, so the above method is
the way first came up in my mind.

Now that the symlink just works fine ...

1. split then up with hardcoded compile
2. create a new package that ships just a simlink

How do you like it?
