How to specify a version from dub build command

[adnan338 via Digitalmars-d-learn]

I have a separate version for flatpak builds in my app. Let's say 
I have a large project that builds with dub that goes like this:

import std.stdio;
void main()
{
        version (flatpak) {
                writeln(`Flatpak build`);
        } else {
                writeln("Edit source/app.d to start your project.");
        }
}

Now if I try `dub build --version=flatpak` it's not recognized by 
the compiler. How can I set the version __from command line__ 
before building my project? I cannot depend on dflags inside 
dub.json because dub.json has no idea whether if it's being 
parsed in a flatpak version build or a regular build.
