I just compiled it. That way I can have VST which one may not distribute 
(though fst was around on Debian "contrib" for a while).

scons VST=yes and have a ZIP of the Steinberg sdk in libs or a symlink to that 
zip. Will not work with the unzipped sdk.

Rosegarden depends on KDE several KDE libs being installed. Since I compiled 
KDE myself (started doing this while Debian Sid's KDE was too messed up to 
use!) and I do not believe one can use both ways. So I need to compile 
Rosegarden as well (not a big problem but I would love some means of 
overriding such dependencies to what I do have installed).
