[CC to debian-gcc] I hesitate to add a new front end to the gcc source package. We recently did split java and do build it now from it's own source. That should be possible for D as well. In experimental, you'll find a gcc-4.1-source package containing the gcc-4.1, sources, all Debian patches and some of the build infrastructure.
I didn't look too hard, but as it looks the only change inside gcc might be to add the D specs to the gcc driver.
