As far as I can tell, there is no need for such a package. LADSPA is
just a spec plus a header file denoting the spec. All the work is done
by hosts and plugins. So the ladspa-sdk package is all we have

I'm not sure if it is reasonable for a package to define environment
variables (is it even possible given the multiplicity of shells and
desktop environments?).

Possibly radium could default to /usr/lib/ladspa if LADSPA_PATH is not set.
