According to distrowatch Ubuntu and Mint are more popular than Debian, and Ubuntu allows proprietary software like Opera browser and Nvidia drivers, so dmd won't be a problem too. Why Debian policies should be an issue?
Both Ubuntu and Mint are based off of Debian, so if you get on Debian you get on those and many Debian-based others as well. Besides that, Debian is more popular with hardcore developer types that will help push adoption. And finally, while I think it's a shame that the reference compiler is proprietary, Debian has a non-free repository that DMD can be placed on as long as the binaries are redistributable.
