lua-dev definitely sounds like a .deb-specific thing.  The way
lua stuff is handled in FreeBSD doesn't always turn out as
expected, I've found.  Even defining DEFAULT_VERSIONS=lua=5.2
doesn't mean that lua stuff always uses a certain version (pretty
sure devel/luafilesystem still requires lua51, even though it claims
otherwise if you read the Makefile).
