I would presume the fedora package doesn't depend on the compiler
because you don't need the compiler to run a gtkd application.

I don't know the packaging policies for the different systems, so it up
to the packagers to do what is appropriate for there system.

For example the Archlinux package only lists the compiler (ldc) as a
build dependency, and you don't need the compiler to install it.

It seems that everything in D-Apt depends on it's DMD. I have removed that repository from my sources list. I think the next step is to get gtkd into the Debian repository based on it's LDC. Then there is symmetry between Debian and Fedora. And it seems Arch.
