These update binaries are used for different purposes and have different entry points. We could potentially split this functionality out into separate binaries (rather than duplicate binaries), but the counter-argument is that we keep update-related functionality in the same place in our code base and binaries, which can help prevent accidentally breaking our updates in the future. Personally, I would vote to close this bug as wontfix.

Agreed.
For posterity I wanted to add: today I realized that a symlink could possibly be used instead of duplicating the entire binary. However, I believe that this currently runs into limitations with our build system.
