how to add command line options to the dub.json so they do not

AFAIK, there's not support for this. Is it really necessary, 
though? It's a one line shell script.

huh? Yes it is necessary. How hard could it be. Editing a script 
is the same as editing the json file and creates junk files. Why 
make things harder than they have to be? Seems like it would be 
rather trivial to implement.

Harder is relative. You're talking about adding a maintenance 
cost to dub for something that can be trivially done in a script. 
Regardless, your best bet is to add an enhancement request to 
dub's issue list [1] and see how it goes. Be sure to clarify if 
you're talking about passing args to dub or to the target of `dub 
run`, or both.

Come on, stop trying to be the asshole. You know as well as I do 
that it would require nearly 0 maintenance. You act like this is 
rocket science when really you are just being lazy.

With your logic there is no reason to do anything because 
everything requires some non-zero maintenance cost. I have to 
maintain my script too, that is non-zero.

The dub source code already has all the machinery 
required(parsing the dub json file and parsing the commands) so 
it would require very little code and require very little 
maintenance and provide a huge benefit for complex command line 
arguments and allow those command lines to propagate with the 
project file instead of the user having to provide a potentially 
security hole by passing around script files.

See, you can't win because you are wrong.

That is enough.
Mike Parker has presented a workaround that you can implement.
He has also shown how you can contact those that have the power to make 
this happen as you desire.

But as shown by other related issues[0], you may not get what you want.
