I'm wondering if this might be different versions of Dub behaving 
differently. I have 79 packages in ~/.dub/packages and only three object 
files in two different projects.

$ ls -l ~/.dub/packages | wc -l
       79

$ cd ~/.dub/packages && find . -name '*.o'
./dfmt-0.4.4/.dub/build/application-debug-posix.osx-x86_64-dmd_2069-EEECF44B144F658EA70D0E82862DE408/dfmt.o
./dfmt-0.4.4/.dub/build/application-debug-posix.osx-x86_64-dmd_2070-5AD8691A40E4B0418752E48F1E27075F/dfmt.o

It's just a cache, it's not something that the user need to look at.
