How is it that it
doesn't have a Debian distribution? It's the most popular form
of linux by
far.
There is package for older version. Version 4 branch is rather
new and it will take some time until maintainer of non-bleeding
edge Linux distributions will consider it stable enough to be
allowed into official repositories.
It is a common approach on its own. Problem is the plugin API
incompatibility they do which does not allow Alex to maintain
Mono-D for older version without effectively spending twice more
time/efforts. I don't know the details but he was ranting about
it quite a lot :)
There is a certain unpleasant similarity between MonoDevelop and
DMD development process :D
