 Note: It is not possible to make subpackage inside subpackage.

To make a subpackage with dub; follow these general guidelines.

**General guidelines**

1. Create a new folder.
2. Open the folder.
3. Initialise a new package. (`dub init`)
4. Open `dub.json` file
    * Append this:
        ```
	 "subPackages": [
	 	"./component1/"
	 ]
       ```
6. Create a new inner folder named `component1`
7. Initialise a new package inside the inner folder (`dub init`)
8. Open the previous package folder.
9. Run the subpackage as a test. (`dub run :component1`)

**This is how it is made in Windows 10:**
(I use Windows 10, please excuse for not giving Linux directions.)

 mkdir "NewPackage"
 cd "./NewPackage"
 dub init
 notepad dub.json

	"subPackages": [
		"./component1/"
	]

 mkdir "component1"
 cd "./component1"
 dub init
 cd "../"
 dub run :component1

Just a side note, you can also supply a name to init directly and 
it creates the directory etc:

dub init myproject
