How do I ensure that dub picks up the right version?

Well dub will always use the versions you have specified in your 
dub.json/dub.sdl file, so if you have a specific version in you 
dub.json/dub.sdl then dub will use that version only and won't 
fetch a new version, so don't use something like "~>version", but 
just "version".

Example

Instead of (something like this.):
dependency "package" version="~>1.2.3"

Do:
dependency "package" version="1.2.3"

Probably author needs the following:
dependency "package" version="*" 
path="../relative/path/to/other/custom/package"
instead of
dependency "package" version="~>1.2.3"

this allows using custom package not registered on dub and after 
debugging register them and use them as usual.

That looks like it will be useful. For bauss's recommendation, I 
would effectively have to register the working directory with dub 
add-local and give it a version in order for it to work. I think 
it would work, but this looks to be fewer steps. I don't have to 
remember to remove it when I'm done, just to not use "git add .".
