amd64 and x86-64 are the same thing, so this should work:
http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd_2.060-0_amd64.deb

No, the complete source comes in the dmd zip. Just grab that, 
unzip it, then go to dmd2/src/dmd and run make -f posix.mak.

Here's the zip download:
https://github.com/downloads/D-Programming-Language/dmd/dmd.2.060.zip

The zip includes binaries and source for all platforms.

I think the source is in the .deb too but I'm not sure (I haven't 
actually used it)
