I just created a dub package. Frankly, the whole thign is backward.

+1.  Had dub been designed with the proper build capabilities, it would
have been a simple of matter of: "Project P uses build system B" -> dub
downloads B, downloads P, and builds P with B. You can even version it:
"Project P version V1 uses build system B version V2" -> dub downloads P
version V1, downloads P version V2, and builds P with B.

This can't be *that* hard to do, can it?
