Okay, sorry, I think my last message will cause some confusion.

(1) Problem no.1 is that one cannot build a package with 
targetType `sourceLibrary`.
(2) No.2 in order to circumvent that, one could just use this 
package as dependency in some dummy pacakge.
(3) Only targetType `executable` will make DUB build the 
dependencies of a package
(4) At the same time, DUB will always try to link the objects 
then, not passing through `-c` when specified as d-flag. Means, 
the "build" (the build itself works fine, of course) of all 
packages depending on non-available libs will fail (because DUB 
will exit with some linker error).


Kind regards,
