Packaging LuaJIT is the first step to packaging anything else that
requires it or wants to link against it. Sure, developers can just
clone the git repository and build it manually, but what about a user
who just wants to install a package that requires it via a complex
dependency chain?
It's pretty easy to disregard the validity of something just because
you don't personally need it.
