i never talked about binaries. what i'm talking about is that dub is not 
a package manager at all.

how can i get a list of available packages? how can i search by package 
name or in package descriptions? using web site is not an option, that 
functionality should be built-in. how can i get compilation flags and 
dependencies from dub without parsing json, so i can use dub in my build 
system? (luckily, that seems to be fixed in recent versions, at least i've 
seen PRs for that)

so i prefer to think about dub and it's "packages" as "dependency 
downloader", but package manager.
