Clearly it would be better if dmd, dcd, dfmt, dfix, dscanner, dub etc. were
all in the standard Debian repository along with ldc, gdc, gtkd, gstreamerd,
tilix, etc.

Now that DMD licence has changed, it is almost certainly eligible to be in the
Debian repository. Then D-Apt could retire.

It is all down to someone volunteering to do the work. The people on the
Debian D Language Group <team+d-team at tracker.debian.org> will have to do the
final upload, but that doesn't stop others preparing the ground for them.

Without volunteers doing stuff, nothing in Debian changes.

True, but it is already in the Debian repository suitable for installation.
