    Will there be a MSU file released for Windows 7 SP1? 

    I know you can install the EXE as an application in MDT 2010 but I would rather install it as a package using a MSU file.

    no, there is no MSU. You can use the /X switch to extract the exe. But you can't add Sp1 as update you must install it as an application:

    windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe /quiet /nodialog /forcerestart

    I used the "/x" switch to export the files from the service pack 1 executable. A MSU file wasn't one of the files, but some cab files were. I was able to import service pack 1 into MDT 2010 with these cab files.

    /X extracts the Win7 Sp1 exe (also the IE9.exe) and results in CABs. MSUs are also CABs + a control file for WUSA.exe.

    What else do you want to know?

    the /X applies to the Sp1.exe:

    windows6.1-KB976932-x86.exe /X:D:\Sp1

    this extracts the exe to D:\Sp1

    As you can see you get the Sp1 installer and the cabs.
