Once you have a package it's easy enough to `apt-get source`/download srpm, 
replace the code and rebuild producing new packages. rpm/apt-get makes sure 
you got all the dependencies and someone else has already tuned all the 
paths and any quirks for the distro. Unless there is a significant change to 
the build it would simplify things for anyone who struggles to build gdc 
(that doesn't require gdc in gcc though, just that there is a package).
