Yes, it will. Look below.

Resuming, the list of packages can be:

"dmd"  including exe files and "dmd.conf.manager" script
"libphobos2-dev"  including phobos headers
"libphobos2-dmd-dev"  including phobos static libraries compiled with dmd
"libdruntime-dev"  including druntime headers
"libdruntime-dmd-dev"  including druntime static libraries compiled with dmd
"dmd-phobos-doc"  including html pages and examples, creating some link on main menu

"libphobos2-dmd" and "libdruntime-dmd" will appears when dmd dynamic libs do.

I'm not quite sure on "libphobos2-dev" - "libphobos2-dmd-dev" and "libdruntime-dev" - "libdruntime-dmd-dev" split.
Another possibility is to join them into "libphobos2-dmd-dev" and "libdruntime-dmd-dev", or just call "libphobos2-dev" => "libphobos2-headers" and "libdruntime-dev" => "libdruntime-headers", as ldc deb packager has done with "tango" libraries and headers.

dependencies:

"dmd"
    depends:
	"libphobos2-dmd-dev"
	"libdruntime-dmd-dev"
	--others packages deeded by dmd to properly compile--
    recomends:
	"dmd-phobos-doc"

"libphobos2-dmd-dev"
    depends:
	"libphobos2-dev"

"libdruntime-dmd-dev"
    depends:
	"libdruntime-dev"

With this sctructure, others packages can interact nicely with dmd now (one package) and in the future, because them will spect the "dmd.conf.manager" script on dmd package, and this do not change after split dmd.
