I've put together a plugin based on the Rust one: 
https://github.com/d-language-server/gnome-builder-dlang (by 
"based on" I mostly mean "shamelessly copy-pasted from")
For now, it allows opening and building Dub projects, and uses 
DLS for editing features.
Next step is adding configuration in Builder's preferences, as 
well as making DEB/RPM/AUR packages.
However, I've looked into the GDB integration, and it doesn't 
seem like I can add debugging support for D from outside of the 
bundled GDB plugin.
