To enable lua plugin user have to edit init.lua inside pkgdatadir (see
epan/wslua/Makefile.am: dist_pkgdata_DATA = init.lua ...) but that is wrong
from the point of FHS:

http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRSHAREARCHITECTUREINDEPENDENTDATA

The best place for such files is sysconfdir. 

Also speaking about lua it's better if local settings inside ~/.wireshark
override system defaults.

Thank you.
