I am not sure who is right, but the warning is not spurious from the
perspective of the original requestor. Bug#243158 cited a scenario
very much like yours as the reason for why the dynamic linker was
confused.

Those links also never left /usr/lib.

Like so many bugs in Debian, however, the feature was requested 17
years ago. At that point, Lua had already been around for ten years
(having arrived in 1993). Do you know when Lua adopted the current
shared object hierarchy and resolution method?

Kind regards
