If you use *.di files (headers), you would normally just keep the 
directory structure, but put the whole thing in a different root 
directory.  Just having *.d and *.di files in the same directory works 
too, as the compiler prefers the *.di files.

That would fool the D-specific build tools, and DMD itself too.  In most 
cases it's easier to just rename the file too.  It can be made to work 
using a *.di file if you really have to.
