Bug#758888: lmms: Provide links to LADSPA plugins in /usr/lib/ladspa

While I agree that convenience copies should be avoided, I also believe
the upstream authors goal of portability have its virtues too.  It is
vital for building a community around lmms community that the files
created by lmms can be shared by default, and I believe we in Debian do
best if we help them with this.

When that it said, I also believe we would do well if we made it
possible, but not the default, to use all LADSPA plugins in Debian in an
lmms project, even if it would make the project incompatible with other
lmms installations, as long as this option would not be enabled by
mistake by some unsuspecting user.

I have no real experience using lmms, and prefer trust the upstream
developers to make good decisions.  After all, we need a good
relationship with upstream.

Yes, it definitely need to be discussed with upstream.
