We use the Butia 1.0 with arduino board. For it, we don't need any special thing, because itis used with the usb like a serial device.
The 2.0 version of Butia, uses a PIC18F.. that we need a udev rules.Someone like this: 
BUS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04d8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="000[bc]", MODE="0666"
The latest build of Sugar have the udev for WeDo.Could be added the NXT rules.
In other way, the problem with Lego is the Bluetooth dongle.The kernel not have the bluetooth kernel.
Would be interesting have the kernel module in some place, and if someone want to use it,is only download and insert...
