Research direction
Start in ext/luarocks/deps.lua around line 216, where the issue reports that an exact dependency such as foo==0.0.1 works. Reproduce the missing link with foo>=0.0.1 and compare the dependency handling paths; done means the expected link appears for the version constraint as well.
