Assuming that the compat package will be correctly named (lua5.4, not lua54): +1

FWIW, I expect the same too. The compat package should be lua5.4

FYI: @spot

Yes, the compat package will be "lua5.4". Initially, it will just be "lua5.4-libs" unless we are unable to build a dependency against 5.5.

Lua 5.5 drops lua_numbertointeger() which I know at least causes a build failure for nmap right now if you want to build nmap with lua enabled.

+1 as long as 5.4 is available for now

After a week: APPROVED (+8, 0, 0)

(We don't have a clear list of the caveats, but it seems that the requests that were stated are being taken into account, so need to complicate things.)
