Well, "git-submodule" not only doesn't exist on my machine (which runs etch with a few lenny packages mixed in), but the file-in-package search for it doesn't return any hits, either, which means it is not even in the version in sid. Evidently, Linus would like the KDE people to use a bleeding-edge git. No matter how good it is, I wouldn't agree if I were one of them.

Large projects and decentralized development Posted Aug 23, 2007 5:50 UTC (Thu) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link] submodules are fairly new, about 6 months old. it does require the 1.5 version of git.
unfortunantly Debian hasn't moved from the 1.4 version yet, and they won't for etch (a policy decision by debian)
Large projects and decentralized development Posted Aug 23, 2007 7:35 UTC (Thu) by Wummel (subscriber, #7591) [Link] The git-submodule script is available only in development versions, eg. 1.5.3rc5. The current version 1.5.2.5 from the download page does not include it. So I consider it still bleeding-edge.

Odds are that any decision will take long enough that the feature will be quite far from the bleeding edge by then, so his position isn't unreasonable.
