Well, there is a way: create something that automatically downloads, extract, and set the executable bits on the proper file. This is exactly what D for Xcode does. If anyone is interested, I've put the scripts it uses for that here: <http://michelf.com/docs/dmd-install/>
I expect they'll work fine on Linux, but you may want to change the DX_INSTALL_DIR variable in the dmd1download.sh and dmd2download.sh files (D for Xcode installs in /Library/Compilers). Feel free to adapt and redistribute the scripts as you like; they're available under GPL 2 or later, same as the rest of D for Xcode.
