Indeed, but that's only the raw executable, not the full

But, yes, Textadept and vim+vim-core (Gentoo speak) are both
gigantic required to bare bones vim. But bare bones vim
doesn't fulfill the syntax highlighting requirement IIRC.
I don't know how it is packaged on your system, but the vim
syntax highlighting for D is like 12 KB and pretty easy to just
drop in and use on its own.
One can definitely splice together one's own minimal vim with D
support, but that would require more work than simply installing
the right packages (which I assumed the requirement "simple to
install" to exclude).
The 26MB I spoke of are localizations (manual, messages,
keymaps), default shipped .vim files (like netrw, color schemes,
languages, compiler support), docfiles, and vim-tutor, all of
which are AFAIK part of the canonical vim distribution.
