Arch Linux chose to remove the D1 package and add the D2 package and not keep both simply because of the retarded name incompatibilities.
That just seems silly. The package builder can make the binary name whatever they choose. And from the Linux side it makes even less sense because it is extremely common. gcc, is it GCC 4.7, 3.2, 8.5, 967, clang? No, it is a symbolic link to whatever you want.
This is what hive have DDebber[1] doing, though because of your previous post I see that I got the version naming of libphobos2 wrong. I was going to develop it further to package Tango and allow v1 and 2 to install together, but such effort appears less and less important.
