It is provided by dmd as part of the download.

You can also get soft copies (i.e. mobi, pdf) and the docs as part of the d-apt repository for debian.

Depending on the nature of distribution it is probably just in a different package (or the package maintainer needs yelling at).

Which leads me to wonder why we don't have dmd{,-doc} in Debian now, given it has been ~3 years since the compiler was open sourced. I can't even find an ITP in a quick search :/

D command line tools have a `-man` switch which will open the browser on the manual for the tool, such as:

    dmd -man
