No, it is not an rdmd bug.

"etc" is a standard D package name reserved for Phobos, the standard library. It is the same for "std" and "core".

Please, point us directly to a documentation where it says that this words reserved.

http://dlang.org/phobos/ ?
(you don't expect to casually use package names "std" and "core" either, do you?)

Why not? If I want to amend the standard library, e.g. for testing a module that's not yet present in my compiler version, or for fixing an error? I think it's useful to be able to override individual modules by placing a copy of them into your project's directory.

For the record, rdmd handles this particular case just fine. You can run unit tests on any one Phobos module with "rdmd -main -unittest module.d". The package exclusion list only applies to imported modules.
