use of struct vs class

I have this struct (with details omitted ... for brevity):
struct Deb {
string name;
...
RedBlackTree!string tags;
void clear() { name = ""; ...; tags.clear; }
bool valid() { return !(name.empty || description.empty); }
}
I plan to store >65K of these (with potential for growth to
>250K) in an AA:
Deb[string] debForName;
I plan to populate debForName by reading data files (actually
Debian Packages files) like this:
Deb deb;
auto file = File(filename):
foreach(line; file.byLine) {
if (line.empty) {
if (deb.valid) // end of package
debForName[deb.name] = deb; // XXX
// else report incomplete package
deb.clear;
continue;
}
... // populate the deb
}
if (deb.valid)
debForName[deb.name] = deb;
I'm assuming that line XXX will copy the Deb including the tree
(which as usual I'm using as a set -- I really miss a set class
in D!). Will this work (I'll find out myself next week when I get
further, but D experts can likely tell from the above).
Should Deb be a class rather than a struct?
