I think the problem with vst integration in US (and all other Linux-based distributions) is reconducible to license issues. You cannot use Steimberg vst api without signing a specific agreement, which is unsuitable for US licensing model.
They state: "Please note that there are licensing agreements coupled with the use of development tools which you have to agree. These agreements contain conditions and/or requirements which are mostly concerned with liability issues."
