Am I right that there is no dmd binary available for my

amd64 and x86-64 are the same thing, so this should work:
http://ftp.digitalmars.com/dmd_2.060-0_amd64.deb
Apparently a build of dmd from source is impossible because the
dmd backend is proprietary? (This would seem to me to be a
stumbling block to D's acceptance, but that is not my concern.)
No, the complete source comes in the dmd zip. Just grab that,
unzip it, then go to dmd2/src/dmd and run make -f posix.mak.
Here's the zip download:
https://github.com/downloads/D-Programming-Language/dmd/dmd.2.060.zip
The zip includes binaries and source for all platforms.
I think the source is in the .deb too but I'm not sure (I haven't
actually used it)
