May be someone has found the right way: cyg-apt.
It is in an early stage, does not handle 'in-use' file substitution, but 
for simple update-upgrade, it works.
I'm not saying that tar.bz2 is not a good packaging format, but only 
point out that now there is no CLI alternative to setup.exe.
Administering a Cygwin environment from the command line is better in IMHO.
