Yes, you can get similar issues with package libraries, but
only if the packages are mutually dependent on each other.
Think of that for a moment, no package manager allows you to
have cycles in your dependencies.
The case where you do compile packages with circular
dependencies seems to mostly come from artificially splitting
packages to deal with OOM, and we better address that at it's
root.
In general you save many troubles with a library b/c you always
link with all objects that were compiled (so it's only
important that a template was emitted but not into which
object).
I was referring to D packages, not dub packages.
