dub was not made to do this and the docs remain: 
https://dub.pm/dub-reference/subpackages/ "unfinished" and will 
remain unfished

as far as I know adr's code is the futherest dub has been pushed 
*and he hates it*; 
https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd/blob/master/dub.json when I 
followed his advice to not do that shit, it took 50 lines of code 
for my own build script. I bet ai can just do it in a single 
prompt by now.

You can make a "subpackage", copy someone elses file structure, 
but id suggest jumping ship if the json line count expands past 
50 and you run into a single piece of complexity no one has yet 
solved.
