Dear Francois Perrad,

It would be good to have slightly more verbose commit logs. Something
like:

"""
This commit introduces the 'luainterpreter' package, which serves as a
virtual package depending either on the 'lua' package or the 'luajit'
package depending on which interpreter is selected.

In order to achieve this, it also updates all the existing Lua packages
to depend on luainterpreter... blablabla.

Why not replace this condition by:

if BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_LUA_INTERPRETER

so that you can remove the "depends on BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_LUA_INTERPRETER"
in all of the Lua packages.

Like this one.

This one. And so on.

No need for a special comment. Just "luainterpreter" is sufficient.

This should probably be converted to use the new virtual package scheme
proposed by Yann. But Yann is telling me on IRC that he has already
done so.
