Consider streamlining the procedure to upgrade, install, search, reinstall, list packages.
You don't always use qubes-dom0-update to update anything, so "update" shouldn't be in the name.
Consider making it setuid root so you don't need to sudo all the time. Or reserve sudo for operations that modify the system.
Consider making qubes-specific package discovery easier. An awesome thing about qubes is being able to install entire preconfigured operating systems and even sets of operating systems (whonix) with a couple of keystrokes. To spotlight these inter-vm packages and also community contributions, consider making
qubes listwithout arguments show these qubes-specific packages.
