It cause problems when there is same name of file as a name of directory.

E.g. Directory:
doost/program_options/a.d
doost/program_options/b.d
doost/program_options/c.d
doost/program_options.d

Program:
import doost.program_options;

Above cause error, although it is easy to see that I mean file not a directory
(AFAIK last part of import is always file).

It's quite a basic problem, so I thing it should be corrected in the first
place. It causes unnecessary problems when porting code from C++ and disallows
creating program directory structure in the way designer wants.
