D does not lend itself well to OS-level packaging, because 
different compilers as well as different versions of the same 
compiler will not be binary-compatible in the foreseeable future.

I think any D package management tool needs to be able to handle 
multiple coexisting compiler configurations, or at least allow 
being used for multiple installation (similar to RubyGems and 
rbenv/rvm).
