This is not even an issue. IDEs can create a dub.json for all new projects and call 'dub describe' on imported projects without ever touching SDLang. Again, *there is no problem here*.
'dub describe' has one big issue. It works only if you manage your packages in $HOME/.dub. Integrating 'dub describe' in another build tool with a different directory layout is currently impossible.
Parsing the dub.json files directly from the external build tool ('rake' in my case) was doable and reasonably easy, with dub.sdl not anymore.
