You can generally expect your submodules to always be in a detached head state.
The submodules are pinned to specific commits, so when you update your submodules, it will check out an individual commit, rather than devel. Once the submodules are bumped, which happens about once a week, you will see new updates. If you checkout devel in the submodules, then a git status would tell you have unstaged changes to the submodules commit sha references.
