I have had a busy past few months, so I will continue to work on getting this 
in to Trusty before it arrives :)
Since lmms is not a significant part of the Ubuntu ecosystem, it is very 
difficult to get a change into the current release (since the interim are only 
supported for short time).  It is VERY tough to get something into a stable 
release after it has been released.
The only method that I have seen available is to use a ppa, such as

I have been having some difficulty using the old packaging from Debian (the 
maintainer is now MIA) and re-working it to support the features I want.  
However, as you may know it now shows up in menus and can be run without a 
terminal :)  In my experiemntal branch I have gotten the icon to be nice 
looking for environments that use big Icons (i.e. Unity)
Sorry for the issue being present, but the main reason the devs disabled it is 
the problem with wine.  To have a working VST pluging on a 64 bit machine lmms 
has to be compiled to include the i386 version of wine to run the VST (AFAIK).  
So, some of the Ubuntu people included a patch to fix installing the 386 
version of wine on 64bit machines, as it tried to naturally use the 64 bit 
version and broke upgrades to 13.10....  (this was before 13.10 was released of 
course).
