Or simply using dub with ldc/gdb without also installing dmd.

That actually indicates that shipping dub with dmd isn't that useful.
And I might also need a separate dub binary for the install.sh script
and Travis-Ci.
Not sure if Söhnke still wants to maintain the old release process, but
we could definitely extract the dub binaries from the dmd releases and
upload them to code.dlang.org/download.

Kai is working on shipping LDC releases with Dub too!

I think it's very useful, if nothing else to increase the awareness of Dub. Doesn't hurt to have a separate binary as well.

When packaging dub with a compiler, it'd be nice if dub per default selected the compiler it came packaged with, I think. (it currently doesn't)

Perhaps people can chime in here with ideas?

@{Suliman, JackStouffer}: probably the best way to track and influence this are these two issues:
