+- Only move the lua bindings from /usr/local when needed: this was
+  generally only a hack as our lua.pc 'forgot' to expose the
+  variables INSTALL_CMOD. As lua is now being fixed, this hack is
+  no longer needed (for compatibility with older/broken lua
+  packages we keep it in place, but don't abort if the move
+  failed).
