I don't know how the packages handle it, but I'm guessing they don't provide the necessary ESL libraries for each and every language. Even when you build from source you still must explicitly visit the directory containing the desired ESL language and run "make" from there, then it compiles and installs it for you. It's not intuitive, but it is documented well enough for perl (because that's what I used and fleshed out the wiki page for it). It should be the same for other languages. Here's the ESL installation wiki instructions https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Event+Socket+Library#Ev... It says there were packages for ancient Debian, so I would assume they have been kept up to date.

Using a freeswitch build from a package and want to access esl from a lua script. Is this possible?

Yes, depending on who packaged it for you. Which Linux distribution do you use?

FreeSWITCH Version 1.10.7-release-19-883d2cb662~64bit

In summary, you can use ESL from anything which can talk over a network socket https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Event+Socket+Library For Lua I believe https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Lua+API+Reference is what you need, although https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/mod_lua may be useful as well.
