Aww, just a little bit too late to easily get into Ubuntu 18.04
LTS
Well.... It still made it, yay! (Even without me explicitly
requesting it)
This means Ubuntu 18.04 will be pretty up-to-date when it comes
to D stuff, only GDC 8 won't be the default (but still available).
The thing that is facilitating an up-to-date D stack in Debian
and Ubuntu is software in the archive using D. The Tilix terminal
emulator is at the forefront there, followed by my
appstream-generator and the Laniakea archive management suite and
all the bits and pieces those projects depend on (like GtkD in
Tilix' case).
