I can replicate your problem with HAM. I then tried using dpkg to install the conky deb, and that failed due to the missing liblua5.1-0 dependency, as expected. Running apt-get install -f subsequently installed liblua5.1-0 (5.1.4-3) ok and then conky is useable.

Just a wild thought but I'd be tempted to try something like "liblua5.1-0 (>= 5.1.4-3)," in the control file to see what that did. Of course YMMV
