The only active one I know of is DUB:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dub/blob/10b3a63b6433bf97c6b56e44c1e78f80b9238a6f/.travis.yml#L11

However, I've never tried to use the shipped packages on Ubuntu or 
Debian during the last years, because I knew how out of date they are.

Apart from DUB, especially for vibe.d, it's next to impossible to 
maintain anything complex for as far back as 2.064 due to a few very 
nasty issues. On top of that it's already sometimes really hard for me 
personally to stick to the current "last 3 frontend versions" rule, 
because I'm really eager to use some of the "newish" features ;)
