I have given up on Ubuntu, my machines now are usually Debian Unstable
but can boot into Fedora 17. I just loaded up the deb on Debian Unstable
and it does seem to work fine. Given that the executables are set up for
dynamic linking this is rather surprising. Excellent, but surprising.

Installing the 64-bit DMD deb does though pull in a world of GCC 32-bit
stuff :-(
