To me this looks somewhat surprising that in Debian buster a package
depends on 2 versions of a library:

# apt-cache depends texlive-binaries |grep lua
  Depends: libtexlua52
  Depends: libtexlua52
  Depends: libtexlua53
  Depends: libtexlua53
  Depends: libtexluajit2
  Depends: libtexluajit2
  Breaks: <luatex>
  Replaces: <luatex>

Is that really intended that it depends on both, libtexlua52 and
libtexlua53?
