I don't think this will ever be a good solution. The glacial and centralized
nature of Linux packaging conflicts with the fast-moving nature of D. For
example, when I write D code I don't make even the slightest effort to support any
compiler/phobos/druntime version other than the latest. Most of my code would
probably not even compile with a release from 6 months ago.
Debian unstable keeps up with the newest of the newest. There was even a little update today.
And if you make another libphobos/libdruntime package then we can compile that one ourselves if we need a newer phobos lib.
It's just so sad compiling it myself is so terribly failing. I wish someone could explain me how to do that in debian testing.
