Reviewed and part of t-p-s 0.33, and hence Tails 0.20~rc1. While testing
Tails 0.20~rc1, the automated test suite was all green, so it looks good.

Submodules sounds like a good idea, but is it really there the problem

those code bases are moved into one we're used to review'n'merge for
every change.

This is what was done.
