Also, what are we even looking to distribute in debian? I would
have thought that the normal thing to do would be to build with
dub, in which case, having the compiler and dub be debian
packages makes sense but not really anything else. If you're
looking to package an application that was written in D, then
that becomes another question, but then if you just statically
link it, the ABI compatibility problem goes away as does any
need to package any D library dependencies.
You will have static-library packages which have the exact same
ABI issues shared libraries have.
And yeah, this is obviously about stuff being built with D
compilers in the distro, such as Tilix, BioD, AppStream Generator
and all future things which might emerge and be useful to have in
the OS.
