To put it differently - this issue is a very real blocker for 
some of planned Phobos changes (pretty much anything that is 
going to use package.d) and it has been hanging around for a long 
time. If you are going to propose alternative solution I'd be 
very glad to see it sooner than later as everyone else who has 
commented on that topic seems to be satisfied with the proposal.
