If you want to do distribution to developers, dub[1] is the way 
to go.

If you want to distribute to desktop users, binary packages is 
the way to go. The issues with static linking are related to C 
libraries. If you develop in Linux you generally don't statically 
link. All your D code is statically linked, work has been done to 
support dynamic linking with Phobos, but for now that isn't 
default.
