Deimos is a Github organization that was created prior to dub.
It was meant for collecting bindings to C libraries. So yes a wrapper 
which you're asking about would not be an appropriate addition to it.

You do not have to follow the rules of Deimos for your own 
libraries/bindings. But I would recommend heavily to separate the 
binding from the wrapper for cleaner code.
