The metadata support file provides (there are quite a few file (Pre)Requires
among various packages), placing just the conflicting files there and using the
information in the yast conflict resolution is enough.

In contrast to the flex we would like to make both lua versions simultaneously
installable with the help of alternatives. The Conflicts tag is too big hammer
that should be used only when it is meant to stay forever (like any other in
fact, I'm not big fan of a tag or %pre/%post "gymnastics" used to workaround
shortcommings outside the package or to make the package quickly work in one
distribution release, such thing often bite you back when you want to support
upgrade after more then one future releases etc).
