Not a problem per se since LDC and GDC work fine. However I do miss

1) You can use rdmd with any compiler - use `--compiler`
2) It was fixed two days ago by our awesome tsar Martin - use the 
nightlies, e. g.

curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s dmd-nightly

For future reference, source here[0]. Easy enough to compile + add to 
PATH if really necessary.

Sounds like rdmd should be a separate Debian and Fedora package. Since
it is unencumbered by non-FOSS licencing it can get in with association
to the ldc and gdc packages.

You will still need a D compiler, but yeah good idea (there is a bunch 
of other programs in there as well such as ddmangle which would make 
sense too).
