You simply change the method to dub for dependencies, as shown 
here:

As for structuring, there is no special handling for dub projects 
specifically in Meson, but the dub dependencies must be fetched 
and built for the same compiler you have setup your Meson build 
to use, as Meson does not try to build the dependencies for you.

So how does it work?  Should the dependency be downloaded already 
or will the dub method get the package from a repository of some 
kind?
