I had a quick look, and I surmise that the LDC folk switched from
Mercurial to Git but didn't communicate with the Debian packager that
this was going to happen.  Since the Mercurial repository hasn't changes
in the last two years, neither has the Debian package.  The ldc package
got ejected from Testing so will not be in the next Debian release.

Can I suggest that the LDC developers make a release from GitHub and
communicate with Arthur Loiret who is listed as the packager so as to
get a new ldc package into Experimental and thence Unstable after the
freeze is over?

I'll post a bug report on the LDC GitHub site.
