Hello All!

This series fixes the selection of the Lua package, a sit is a provider
for the virtual package lua-interpreter.

As explained in the manual, it is not allowed to select the provider of
a virtual package. Quoting:

    If your package really requires a specific provider, then you’ll
    have to make your package depends on this provider; you can not
    select a provider.

Followed by an explanations on the reasons this should not be done:

    https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#_infrastructure_for_virtual_packages

This series just cleanups the situation with respect to the
lua-interpreter virtual package. It has not been checked if we
had other virtual packages for which providers were selected.
This can be done in a later series.


Changes v1 -> v2:
  - drop the comment about Lua beeing needed  (Thomas)


Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
