A message for Dicebot (couldn't find the email address or other ways to contact him).

I also don't get why the tools are prefixed with `dtools-`. Are there many name clashes with other packages?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trusted_Users lists valid
contact mail ;)

dman was not packaged because it seems superceded with `dmd -man`
switch. Am I wrong?

As for dtools- prefix - yes, some of tools have very generic
names (like "detab"), wanted to be extra safe with name clashes.
rdmd and dustmite have prefix-less aliases though. Does this
cause any problems?

Ah.. Missed that one.

You might be right, but dman still exists in the repo: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/tools/blob/master/dman.d

Now I just have to resolve the `x-www-browser: No such file or directory` errormessage.

No biggie - better to avoid clashes than having the same names on all systems.
