Comment (by mojca@…):

 Yes, they do, they both provide {{{${prefix}/bin/luatex}}}, but that's not
 a real problem. The idea was being able to install just a tiny binary
 instead of the whole gigantic package. But it makes no sense to keep
 providing an ancient binary along with the latest one bundled in TeX Live.
 If anyone will need just luatex again some time in future, he/she can
 create a package again. But I doubt that are many people like Patrick who
 know what to do with the binary alone without the extra gigabyte of fonts
 and packages.
