Well.... It still made it, yay! (Even without me explicitly 
requesting it)
This means Ubuntu 18.04 will be pretty up-to-date when it comes 
to D stuff, only GDC 8 won't be the default (but still available).
The thing that is facilitating an up-to-date D stack in Debian 
and Ubuntu is software in the archive using D. The Tilix terminal 
emulator is at the forefront there, followed by my 
appstream-generator and the Laniakea archive management suite and 
all the bits and pieces those projects depend on (like GtkD in 
Tilix' case).
