It is my understanding that ldc is not broken but that gir-to-d is not
compatible with the current version. There are 6 source packages in the
archive that have successfully rebuilt against the new version of
libphobos2-ldc-shared, it's only gir-to-d and it's reverse-dependencies that
are broken.
And Debian has removed all of these from testing, which implies they agree
with this analysis.

We could, but what is going to get gir-to-d fixed to allow the transition to
proceed later?gir-to-d people appear to think this is a compiler bug: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/4000Not really sure what the takeaway for Debian/Ubuntu is here. A dh-dlang change?
I chatted briefly to the Debian maintainer on IRC and they said that they'll upload a workaround to gir-to-d (roughly this https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bVHGFXQRJF/) "soon". We can fix it in Ubuntu sooner, clearly, but IMHO it's worth just waiting a few days to see if we get the fix via Debian with no effort.
