If the remote party is one of the parties involved in a multisig, and
speaks the "Lets set up a multisig wallet together / Lets spend from a
multisig" protocols, then it should be perfectly reasonable to assume that
they're HD-capable.

Remote parties paying into a multisig, or receiving funds from a multisig,
don't have to support it (that's what P2SH gives us).
