Yeah, but imagine creating hard dependency on certain library 
version in sources (with no real need, something like too 
specific SONAME) - it requires package maintainer not only to 
keep bundling script, but also to patch project sources before 
building. Something maintainers are usually not happy to do :)

It is not that common but forgetting that user environment will 
be different from yours is kind of easier with all the 
convenience `dub` brings you.

In general I think keeping packager and developer duties separate 
is a good/right thing, however, it is much easier when developers 
think about binary dependencies separately from source ones.
