Is terminix already 'officially' packaged by any distro ?
It has been packaged for Debian though there is still an issue
with LDC to be sorted out:

The biggest challenge is getting D's tool chain supported, the
release of 1.0 of LDC is what is making this possible for
Terminix since DMD is a non-starter for most distros.
integration in distribution could be a good signal, what a say,
Excellent signal, for the D language. I know that some people
here are mostly starving at commercial usage...but for me such
tools written in D and available in linux distros via their
package manager would be a much more significant sign.
