Luapak dependency analysis feedback

[Alloyed]

Sorry about the issue spam but as you can probably tell I'm working through using luapak in a practical way and I figure too much feedback is better than no feedback.

I do appreciate that luapak will try to statically analyze the modules my project requires, but because my package is nontrivial and includes dependencies that themselves have dependencies it's hard to tell where missing dependencies are used and why.

For example, here is the output from using luapak on lua-lsp:

luapak: Resolving dependencies...
luapak: warn: The following modules are required, but not found:
luapak: warn:    debug
luapak: warn:    lpeg
luapak: warn:    lua-lsp.formatting
luapak: warn:    luacheck

• I have no idea where lpeg is used and I'm not sure how I'd find out. It'd be nice for luapak itself to track the source of these dependencies and then report them to me as a quick list next to the dependency name.
• debug should(?) be the default lua debug module? With some knowledge of the source of this I could probably say for sure, but I don't have that info as of right now.
• lua-lsp.formatting here is a straightforward mistake on my part: my source directory includes it but not my rockspec file. Still, if it's easy to do so It'd be nice to have a message for exactly this case.
• I know for a fact I depend on luacheck, but since it's optional it's not listed as a dependency in the rockspec. It'd be nice to have an alternate way to specify luarocks dependencies to support this too.

Some more feedback. I'm running this over a project I've written, and a list of missing modules popped up, including

• coroutine
• debug
• io
• math
• os
• string
• table

(Yes, I do local math = require "math" in my code as a form of documentation and intent). It would be nice if I could tell luapak to assume standard modules, or it did that by default.
