It’s in the firmware category, i.e. it comes from LVFS. It’s neither a Flatpak nor a DEB/RPM/… package. Many of these, I believe are actually exe files for DOS (happy to be corected on this, it’s a while since I last read Richard Hughes’s blog).
Iirc, GNOME Software is plug-in-based and the Flatpak plug-in is just one of the plug-ins.
At least the Debian package depends on both, the library libfwupd2 and fwupd. So fwupdmgr should be present too (depending on how the used distribution handles these dependencies).

So
fwupdmgrtakes care of this on the command line?I think GNOME Software uses some
fwupdlibrary rather than the straight-up command-linefwupdmgr, but yeah, basically.At least the Debian package depends on both, the library
