This clearly shows that having the repositories of submodules in
.git/submodule does not buy you enough to avoid duplication.

(I don't see enough reason to place a repo for submodule X in project Y
outside its "natural" checked-out directory in project Y. But then, I
haven't followed the discussion. Please ignore me if above layout choice
is for more than just avoiding duplication.)
