this makes litle sense what is now, seems only 5.1 is present and it's 
assumed as a default version:

$ rpm -qpl lua-lpeg-0.12.2-1.x86_64.rpm
/usr/lib64/lua/5.1/lpeg.so
/usr/lib64/lua/5.1/lpeg.so.0.12.2
/usr/share/doc/lua-lpeg-0.12.2
/usr/share/doc/lua-lpeg-0.12.2/HISTORY.gz
/usr/share/doc/lua-lpeg-0.12.2/lpeg-128.gif
/usr/share/doc/lua-lpeg-0.12.2/lpeg.html
/usr/share/doc/lua-lpeg-0.12.2/re.html
/usr/share/doc/lua-lpeg-0.12.2/test.lua.gz
/usr/share/lua/5.1/re.lua


the packages should be versioned with lua version, or only one version 
be included in distro.

also, there's luajit, which is (i think) same language level as lua 5.3.
