On the one hand Cargo works wonderfully with Rust so I had hoped Dub
would work wonderfully with D.  Sadly I am finding it doesn't. Possibly
my fault, but still annoying.

There is a Dub package in Debian. It seems to default to GDC rather
than LDC, which is annoying. Meson defaults to LDC, but getting it to
handle the Dub repository is going to be impossible I suspect.

No DMD installed. Seemingly Dub chooses /usr/bin/gdc over
/usr/bin/ldc2. :-(
