I would like to see (have an option to see) submodules in usage statistics. The main reason is this issue: #233301: Remove blog module from core. I need to confirm by concrete statistics that blog module is not used, and it would not harm if it is removed from core. This feature could help making decisions on similar issues in the future.
I guess update module is not prepared to give this information. So the first step would be to specify what is required to achieve this improvement.

aclight commentedThe update status module does not send this information, as far as I know, so this issue really would need to be filed against Drupal core instead of the project module. I'm not sure that this is something people would be interested in having, because I can't see how it would benefit an end user to reveal information about what sub modules are running on his site. At least by revealing what main modules are running he can get information on the availability of security releases, etc.

drewish commentedyeah the end user benefit would be indirect at best... only by letting devs know what sub-modules were used and letting them direct their support accordingly.
