My observations:
#1 typo:  After that, add this meso.build file:

"meso.build" should be "meson.build"

#2 Does it matter where the dlang = import... block goes in the
meson.build file?  I added it after the "test(..." in the first
block and it seemed to work, but...

#3 where is dep?  Is it a file or do I have to create it?

I could only get you demo to work by removing the line

   dependencies: deps

from meson.build.  Then it created dub.json and dub ran it OK.

No need for a reply, just my obvservations from someone who knows
a little D and less meson.
