/var/lib is standard path for such internal package data and, as 
it was already discussed in other topic, dub should not install 
anything out of own environment (it has a good chance to be 
banned out of repo if it will try)

About "-dev" packages - it is quite a delicate matter. Some of 
distros explicitly prohibit adding pure source packages, that is 
actually the very reasons why stuff like dub is necessary.

Having dub itself in repos is very important though (btw 
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dub/ lacks 3 votes for 
inclusion ;))
