Yes, I see that now from elsewhere in the thread.

Look at it this way: you can set things up to guarantee yourself a 
trip to the user's house. Or, by prior arrangement, tell the user you 
will do a remote update to save time but if ssh is updated, then you 
will have to come out anyway. 9 times out of 10 you won't need to, 
but in the case of the 1, total downtime including travelling is the 
same.

Sounds to me like you are being over-cautious.
