I think it's better to keep them separate. I like that FDUPDATE only
does one thing - download updates. FDPKG is pretty mature, and should
remain the package manager. To try to push that functionality into
FDUPDATE at this time would risk adding too many bugs.

Anyway, I don't know that FDUPDATE has the architecture to support
FDPKG functionality.
