I think D enums are mostly meant for enumerations, of things like ints,
ushorts, chars, etc. (But enhancement requests are possible).

Also is that "package:" actually working?

That's incorrect. TDPL specifically talks about using structs as the type of 
an enum. However, there are bugs with it which make it so that it doesn't 
really work at the moment. Among them are:

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4423
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5460

If you see any bugs with regards to structs not working as enum values, please 
report them if you can't find them in bugzilla.

 I think D enums are mostly meant for enumerations, of things like ints,
ushorts, chars, etc. (But enhancement requests are possible).

I want to use this enum in 'final switch' statement.

Yes
