digitalmars.D.learn - Build release and debug with dub

Is it's possible to make rule, that allow to build two version of 
App? One release and one debug at same time. I looked at 
"buildTypes" https://code.dlang.org/package-format?lang=json

But it's not possible to set different names for output files. I 
want to build App.exe and AppDebug.exe after simple command dub 
build.

In the document it says you can not specify targetName in 
buildType. I wonder why is that?

But you can use two configurations like this(assumming your 
project is named "App"):

```
configuration "App" {
     targetType "executable"
     targetName "hello"
}
configuration "AppDebug" {
     targetType "executable"
     targetName "AppDebug"
}
```

and use `dub -c AppDebug` for AppDebug.exe, and `dub -b release` 
for App.exe

typo: "hello" -> "App"

 }
 configuration "AppDebug" {
     targetType "executable"
     targetName "AppDebug"
 }
 ```

 and use `dub -c AppDebug` for AppDebug.exe, and `dub -b 
 release` for App.exe
