This is in a way worse because there's a tidbit of syntax for

thinking:
spec = "orange";
version = "1.0.0";
author = "Jacob Carlborg";
type = "library";
files = ["a.d", "b.di"]; // an array of source files
That's close enough to JSON to suggest: why not use JSON
syntax?
There is a competing project doing just that:
https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/dub
(doesn't look like it's been posted yet?)
I asked Sönke about possibly proposing this as the official D
package manager awhile back when Dub was called VPM. You can find
his answer here:
