True.

The issue I had was just that dmd 2.014 creates broken headers, which made the
resulting package unusable. dmd 2.015 creates not so broken headers, which is
why I prefer to use the bundled dmd instead of the system dmd.

If you would ship libphobos seperately from dmd, replacing the system dmd
first, and then building libphobos with that one would have been my idea, too.

I do not know what your policy to adding features and backwards compatibility
is, but I would assume that it might be possible that the old system dmd does
not understand the syntax or keywords used for the new to-be-compiled
libphobos.

I guess this is a matter of what to make the sane default.
