It doesn't work automatically, it needs people creating and updating packages.
And as setup.exe cannot be avoided (dpkg would be a cygwin package itself and
would need an "already installed" system) thereis no big gain in having another
package management system.
Moreover also setup.exe has the functionality to keep system up-to-date...
