Hey Joel,

While checking my maintainer's dashboard (<https://udd.debian.org/dmd>),
I noticed that we still haven't solved this problem.  I realize life
sometimes gets in the way and it's hard to commit time to packaging, but
I decided to send this friendly ping anyway and see if you had the
chance to solve the issues I pointed out below.

Thanks,
