Definitely not.  I don't know the exact procedure, since I'm not really
involved in the KRUD build process on a regular basis, but I'm quite
sure that updating a package requires (at the very least) generating a
new hdlist file using programs from the "anaconda-runtime" package.

Kristen is the one that really knows this stuff, but she doesn't do
NCLUG.
