The Debian package just has:

 LDC is a portable compiler for the D programming language with modern
 optimization and code generation capabilities. 
 
 It uses the official DMD compiler frontend to support the latest
 version of D, and relies on the LLVM Core libraries for code
 generation.

Perhaps having the Debian, Fedora, Arch and (Free|Open)BSD packages all have
the same text would be a good move?
