Perhaps. My response in this thread derived from a brief exchange 
Jonathan and I had over at github. In packaging Derelict for 
Fedora, he had been relying on a pull request I accepted from him 
some time ago that added shared library support to the Derelict 
build script. I decided to remove it as it has fallen out of sync 
with the static builds now and again and it was only there for 
his use. At any rate, as part of my plans to restructure the 
project, I'm going to drop the build script and rely on dub 
exclusively. From his post here coming so soon after our 
exchange, I get the impression that I may not be the only one 
he's heard that from.

As long as packaging the various distros doesn't require any 
constraints on how I manage my projects, then it doesn't matter 
too much to me where or how people package it up. However, I do 
see benefits to promoting dub as the means to build up the D 
ecosystem. Then it's a central, goto location for D libraries and 
everybody's on the same page. As long as dmd/gdc/ldc and dub are 
available via the distro packages, that's all that really matters
