I doubt it.
Please can you show something on dmd/phobos that fails on any actively maintained Linux distro that properly works on another one?

I think is better to keep a single dmd/phobos binary/libray for Linux if they are capable to work on all active distros, and this is the case without libcurl dependency. If a new libcurl D wrapper project is created, I'll be the first to generate deb packages for it, but out of phobos. -- Jordi Sayol
