If we're removing the zip as it currently is, it's another prof
that D isn't stable as it claims to be.
And I repeat, why should we break for every platform when it's
only one platform that is broken.
We can leave old .zip as-is just make it explicit that it is
legacy layout and only 100% expected to work on Debian-compatible
distros. I really don't care how it is distributed as I am using
git tag anyway - what I do care about are users having wrong
expectations when they come to download page.
