He's saying that there is no easy way to, without expanding the code (and perhaps without going one step further beyond a fully expanded program, but nevermind that detail), split apart the submodules that come from a single module. You just cannot tell, without expanding everything, which of the imports end up being used where (at least I think that's the idea).
