I'm guessing because the DMD compiler is 32-bit, even though it 
generates 64-bit code? I think you can build a 64-bit version of the 
compiler, so the RPM probably should be updated.

Until it is I shall be living in a DMD-free world.

Still there is GDC, and although there is LDC the package is so old it
is unusable. But then I compile LDC for myself anyway so no problem.

Very likely it has same packaging mistake as DMD in d-apt, 
listing gcc-multilib dependencies as mandatory and not optional, 
even if you are never going to cross-compile for i686

That does seem very bizarre: I had missed that. I guess that as I
remove all the last vestiges of multiarch stuff then DMD will be
exiting itself from my Debian computers.

From dmd v2.071.0, "gcc-multilib" dependency is not mandatory. It was moved
from "Depends" to "Suggests" field.

Both <http://dlang.org/download.html> and <http://d-apt.sourceforge.net/>.

Great news! I haven't used d-apt version since 2.068 because we 
started to package our own internal flavor at work but this will 
fix one of two big annoyances. Another bit was x-window 
dependency needed for caling `dmd -man` - was it moved to 
optional ones too?

Unfortunately not yet. Probably dmd-bin will be split into two packages,
dmd-bin and dmd-compiler, not yet decided.

However there is a PreDepends on multiarch-support. I am trying to get
rid of this package but that means dmd, dcd, dfmt, dscanner, gtkd, etc.
all have to go.
