--- Comment #1 from Seb <greensunny12@gmail.com> ---
The most interesting comment in this thread:
---
We could try to host an apt and yum repo on dlang.org.
Might be simple to do, but it's not much better than the deb/rpm download we
offer.
It only gets interesting when we could land DMD in official repos, volunteering
package maintainers are welcome and should please contact me.
I hope we can sort out the redistribution part of the backend somehow.
We should include the few commands to install the packages on the download page.

Well, now that the DMD backend is Boost licensed too, there is nothing stopping
distros to ship DMD, but somehow they haven't done so.
Sociomantic plans to move d-apt to GitHub + Bintray:

So maybe efforts for Ubuntu/Debian should focus on/collaborate with this.
