There's no package "tramp-". Better would be

        (trace-regexp "^tramp-")

Could be changed in the Tramp manual (modulo backwards
compatibility). One problem I'm always faced with Tramp are autoloaded
functions. The code as given in the Tramp manual instruments only
functions, which are either already loaded, or which are marked as to be
autoloaded. Functions from a Tramp package, which are loaded later on,
are not handled.

Could you add this functionality?

Best regards, Michael.
