I just tried to use the DMD frontend as a Dub package in my own

Nice :)
How about submitting this as PR?
Then you get updates for free and more people can work on tweaking the
DUB file.
I'm afraid this is not yet ready for upstream. Dmd would first have to
move all ddmd files into src/ddmd/ to have a clean package namespace.
And someone smarter than me should probably adjust the dub.json to
somehow emphasize that the library contains only the front-end.
With the help of sourceFiles you should be fine.
You will also want sourcePaths to be set to [""] to ensure it doesn't
have anything e.g. src in it.
I would recommend you have dub pregenerate some import files and add
them via importPaths.
