You know what exactly is the problem? Any suggestion what to use 
instead?

It's currently using libphobos2.so.0.74, where using major 
version 0 to mean unstable might be a misapplication of semver 
(http://semver.org/#spec-item-4) for SONAME.
Our point releases might also contain small ABI 
incompatibilities, so they aren't really eligible as patch 
version.
