(Greetings all.  I just started using D yesterday.)

Languages that are entirely open source and popular just publish 
their source code, and the Linux distributions compile, package 
and distribute those languages.

For example, if you look at Debian's Python3 package, you can see 
who the package maintainers are (right column, part way down):
http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/python3

The Debian Python3 package maintainers may (or may not) work on 
Python itself.

I believe that parts of DMD are closed source, which may create 
some level of barrier (both technological and ideological) to 
distributing DMD (and its libraries) in the standard Linux 
fashion.
