Adding that explicit dependency was a mistake on my side - since it is
the compiler's standard library, and since we don't actually ship any
D code that doesn't depend on it, having that explicit dependency
doesn't make sense. And even if you compile without Phobos, any D
compiler will pull it in on Debian anyway, so if you have a D
compiler, you have Phobos too.

I dropped the dependency in Git, and also made the package use
dh-dlang to pick the right compiler and compiler flags.
Feel free to upload the changes if you want to, and thanks for asking
about the dependency!

Cheers,
    Matthias
