Thanks. From now on any D tool related bugs should go to the main SCons
issue repository.

Can I get you to switch sooner? I want to actually remove the
SCons_D_tooling repository from BitBucket. I believe that cloning the
SCons mainline is entirely equivalent as I always kept SCons_D_Tooling
up-to-date. An alternative is to clone my SCons repository on Mercurial,
which is where I will be putting any future D-related changes.

A new version of SCons will appear in Debian Sid only after a formal
release and I am not sure when that will be. There has been quite a lot
of activity on SCons recently so mayhap I can activate for a release
sooner rather than later.
