Did you mean alt_getopt.lua?

texlive-base includes it on its own private path, and it's on "main" section

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?mode=exactfilename&suite=trusty&section=all&arch=any&keywords=alt_getopt.lua&searchon=contents
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/lua-alt-getopt/alt_getopt.lua

Is there a particular reason it's allowed to do so while lxc isn't?
