Well, I don't know who produces the rpm or deb, so I don't know how likely it is 
to get something for ALT Linux. I've never heard of it and have no idea what 
package format it uses.

However, if all you're looking to do is install dmd, then simply download the 
zip file, unzip it somewhere, and add /path/to/unzipped/dmd2/linux/bin to your 
path, and it should work. There's no need to install it in /usr or whatnot. It 
works quite easily from the unzipped zip file.
