What should happen with other stdout output? NB: On unix you can use -deps=/dev/stdout.

I forgot to close this, I thought RDMD might need it but it's unnecessary since it can just read from the deps file instead.

I just implemented this. :-) This very moment. The idea is to print to stdout everything dependency related, every line gets prefixed just as -v output does. I have currently defined the following lines: depsImport ... Same information that gets written to -deps=file depsFile ... File imports depsVersion ... What version() statements are in the module depsDebug ... The same for debug() depsLib ... Any library from pragma(lib) So -deps=file would only remain for legacy reasons, -deps would be an extensible replacement for everything dependency related. I almost have a pull request ready.
