Well, yes... and hence these questions, because as the packager 
I'm trying to understand my options, so that I _can_ take 
responsibility for what's in the package being correct. ;-)

Note the constraint that while the path relative to the snap 
install location is well defined, the absolute install path isn't.

Hmm, interesting. The ldc2.conf file includes what looks like a 
wildcard for the compiler location, but passing that wildcard 
manually via -I flags doesn't work. I'll re-check later (had to 
step out for a bit) but it looks like it might be intended to be 
manually replaced.
