Yes you are,

but we end up with 2 different hdupdate packages, which is what I am 
trying to avoid. The basic hdupdate capability does NOT rely on scp, it 
is just an addon.

I agree it makes it more difficult if someone wants to use scp for 
hdupdate rather than tftp (but the default is tftp anyway). Also scp 
can be used for other things as well, and it's pretty silly to include 
hdupdate if ALL you want is scp (not very modular).
