I know, I will call the package luatex-snapshot upload it to experimental, and people will get a warning about its usage. It is ok this way, not many people will get it from experimental anyway, but I want to have it around for testing, and better early adoption then late work.
ok, for the sake if testing integration, compilation, etc, making a debian package makes sense; as long as you add some 'no support whatsoever' clause (btw, is may also help if lua is installed as part of the system utilities; it's small so ...) just for fun: you can use luatex as lua interpreter: luatex --lua somescript.lua with somescript.lua being print("I'm LuaTeX!") is a nice testcase.
The point is that there are people who don't want to compile things but still are able to test stuff. For those luatex-snapshot pacakged will serve, too (and for me, because I don't want to have packages not under package management control on my system ;-)
