Hrm, my workplaces have tended to simply copy binaries to the target 
system -- with java, fat jars; with C#, zipped up executables and DLLs.

In D, I tend to get statically linked executables, which are pretty 
convenient on that front.

It's interesting to see that some people use debian packages for that.

dub fetch --cache=system $PKG

This lets you run `dub run $PKG` as any user.

I'm similarly intrigued that other people use debuggers. I think I pull 
one out about once per year. printf debugging is my go-to -- and my 
primary programming language at work is Java.
