I have a dub.json containing this
{
"name": "plot2kill",
"description": "2D Plotting Library for D",
"authors": ["David Simcha", "Jordi Sayol"],
"homepage": "https://github.com/dsimcha/Plot2kill",
"license": "BSL-1.0",
"excludedSourceFiles" : ["source/plot2kill/demotest.d"],
"targetType": "library",
"dependencies": { "gtk-d": "~Gtk2" }
}
Which seems simple enough. However:

There are some problems with the Gtk2 package.json but the above behaviour still doesn't seem right. If I said I wanted Gtk2 branch and it finds a problem with it, it shouldn't just default to the master branch, it should error and stop.
