Forget it. Phil has a simpler approach, based on `load-history'.

Sure. There's still (trace-regexp "^tramp-"), no problem.

How do you define you a "subpackage"? In Tramp, I don't know what makes
tramp-sh.el a subpackage of tramp.el, except my knowledge as maintainer.

Again, `tramp-regexp' is your friend.
