Hi Guillem, 

I'm trying to use source/format 3.0 (git) to share a git-bundle of some WIP
packaging changes with another DD.

The package in question rubs dpkg-source the wrong way:

     dpkg-source: error: git repository yosys uses submodules; this is not yet 
supported

However the packaging repo itself doesn't have submodules initialized so I
don't think there is any real problem.

Looking at Dpkg/Source/Package/V3/Git.pm the check is simply based on the
presence of the .gitmodules config file.

I believe the correct logic to check if submodules are actually in-use in
the current repo would be to check if `git submodule status` returns
non-empty output.

What do you think?

Thanks,
--Daniel
