it has a lua-5.3-ceph branch, so I guess that some changes were done for
ceph.
will use the submodule.

Presumably for the same reason we have boost as a submodule.
Past experience has shown that the version of foo (lua in this case)
can vary from distro to distro. Also, each distro is a "moving target"
in that the version of foo (lua in this case) can change, with
consequences that are impossible to predict, at any time.
