I don't see why we need such sub-directories. The language

I also place the source under /usr/src since they actually
aren't headers/import files.
Mostly hygiene concerns. One of reasons why C headers are put
into /usr/include is that it is default include location and it
allows to to directly hit "#include <libheader>" after installing
a package, with no explicit paths. Having similar standard
location for D library modules is desired but FHS mandates it to
be subdirectory of /usr/include (yes, those are import files for
D). Making common subdirectory to avoid mixing with C stuff in
filesystem is obvious next step.
