Ok.

Because texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf puts the lualatex specific paths
*before* the general latex path.

If you would do
	kpsewhich -progname lualatex piton.sty
it would show you that it uses the one from texmf-dist.

Best is to move your local copy to
	/home/yann/texmf/tex/lualatex/chato/piton.sty

Best regards
