   I currently have a very ugly hack that adds this to main.py:

   diff --git a/vinca/main.py b/vinca/main.py
   index eb5b148..b73f9d3 100644
   --- a/vinca/main.py
   +++ b/vinca/main.py
   @@ -683,6 +683,7 @@ def generate_source(distro, vinca_conf):
            entry = {}
            entry["git"] = url
            entry[ref_type] = ref
   +        entry["submodules"] = vinca_conf["_snapshot"][pkg_shortname].get("submodules", True)
            pkg_names = resolve_pkgname(pkg_shortname, vinca_conf, distro)
            pkg_version = distro.get_version(pkg_shortname)
            print("Checking ", pkg_shortname, pkg_version)

   This works (add a submodules: false to rosdistro_additional_recipes.yaml for a specific package and the recipe generated will contain the required key as well).

   It's a hack because I don't like I'm directly indexing into vinca_conf, but without spending more time I couldn't immediately see a way to access the key-value pairs for a specific package in rosdistro_additional_recipes.yaml.

   Edit: it only 'works' with rattler-build>=0.58 btw, as that's the first release that included prefix-dev/rattler-build#2158.
