My entropy key was before plugged into a Debian 7, and this system was runing ekeyd & egd-linux and my desktop with AL was running egd-linux, it was sort of running most of the time. Debian 7 is using LUA 5.1 btw.
Now with my fw running AL (and LUA 5.2) I tried to get ekeyd running on it. Long story short, I couldn't get it to work. I am not sure now whether LUA 5.2 (the default on AL) was a problem as well, but I can test that again, if required. The biggest problem was that initializing the entropy key with ekey-rekey [...] was either just sitting there, or showing a "MAC timout" error. [...] Why do you want to force the use of lua 5.2 at all? Lua 5.2 is not compatible with 5.1 in many places[1], because of that we have a 'lua51'

After having a quick look at that tarball, I see that 'ekeyd-1.1.4/host/Makefile' explicitly uses lua 5.1 for the headers and should do for the libraries. If not, this can be fixed. Please change the dep to lua51 and try to compile and use it again. It is impossible to do for most of us, because we do not have that special device. best regards, carstene1ns [1]: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html#8
