@Who Thanks for your interest in making LMMS better.  Getting an SRU into Ubuntu is not an easy task.
There are issues with the current branch in 14.04 that can be very detrimental. 

  The issue with VST plugins working on 64 bit is somewhat complicated
as it is bound up in the packaging.  You can easily compile LMMS from
source and having working VST plugins.  However, I have not had the time
to track down the issue fully.  If you are interested in helping, I'd
appreciate it.  If you are not interested in helping, then this will be
resolved when I (or the Debian packager upstream) fixes this.  However,
Debian is behind Ubuntu in the version of LMMS they have available.  The
packager for Debian is not extremely involved with LMMS.

  I have multiple projects I am working on, and I do want LMMS to be the
best it can be, however I am not a developer for LMMS.  I am a user,
like you, that wanted LMMS to be able to run without needing to start it
from a terminal.  So I decided to figure out how to make this happen.
However the VST issue turned out to be more problematic than a simple
line in the control file.  We may need to separate out all the
dependencies and pair them according to which arch we are building for.

Since you are a user, and this is GNU/Linux you have the freedom to fix
bugs as much as I do :)

Title:
  AMD64 lmms package doesn't have Vestige VST support while the i386
  does

Status in “lmms” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The AMD64 package doesn't containt libvestige.so to be able to run VST plugins. While comparing the filelists of the amd64 package and the i386 package (see [1] and [2]) I noticed that the i386 package does have this support.
  It would be nice if this could be fixed and the amd64 lmms package would also support VST plugins. This is critical for many musicians because many plugins are only available as VST plugins.

  Edit: I'm running Raring amd64 and lmms can't use VST plugins.
