Is this just a phrase, or is lua really executed in main-rpm context?
What happens with the directory-fd's pointing outside chroots? Will bad
dynamical loaded libraries kill the entire rpm?

How will this interact with '--root' operations? E.g. on date
operations, will /etc/localtime from host or chrootfilesystem be used? 
Or on name-lookups, will the libnss* libraries from host or the chroot
be loaded (related to non-fork questions above)?

Does there exist a way to hook into it; e.g. so that some actions (changing
context) can be done before the lua scripts will be executed? And/or can
dangerous operations (loadlib, loadfile) be disabled globally?
