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:

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.
