I see two problems with this:

1. Does the registry (code.dlang.org) really know which files a Dub 
package contains? I would guess the registry mostly contains information 
where to find the source for a package, i.e. GitHub

Rubygems, for example, on the other hand would be able to do this 
because a Ruby gem (package) is ZIP archive with all the sources for the 
package included. Also, when building a gem the package description is 
"compiled", that is, all shell globs are expanded to locate all files.

2. It's possible to have a file with a completely different module name in D
