Yes, we need it badly.
I think it's a good moment to start a discussion. First off, what
exactly do we want from a package management system?

Yah, would be great. It would be awesome if an expert in e.g. apt would
join D and create the design of a package management system.
I would invite interested parties to review the cabal/cabal-install/
Hackage system documentation. It is described here.
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/How_to_write_a_Haskell_program
Haskell has over 2000 contributed user libraries--largely because they
have such a nice, easy to use, and well documented package system.
Rather than expend much effort, in the tradition of lazy evaluation and
getting 80/20 the way there, I would prefer to just do a clone of an
already successful system such as cabal (or ?) and then take feedback to
based on actual usage with D.
Thoughts? Comments welcome.

I would clone RubyGems.
