I care. But I've been using custom-built DMD on Debian, and it
has been working so far.
Of course, I don't know about the .deb distribution. A fix was
recently pushed, but I don't know if that fixed the problem.
My solution was basically to built druntime & phobos with -fPIC
so that static libphobos.a is PIC. But my solution was declined
in bugzilla and a different fix was opted for.
Linking against shared phobos was just mentioned as immediate
workaround.
Changing over to -fPIC by default amd64 was one of multiple
options that had to be carefully evaluated. It's fairly trivial
to just demand a certain change without considering it's impact.
