No, that doesn't work as you may think and it is not supported either.

There are multiple ways to exclude a package.

In my case I add the "Java" package to all profiles and that package 
will decide which Java version to install.
This will reduce the need to add host checks to one spot.

Since I don't know your WPKG structure it is hard to tell what would be 
the best way for you.

If you have one common profile, you can exclude the host in that 
profile, so you only need the "Java7" package.

If you have no common profile, you would end up with two packages, 
"Java" and "Java7", where "Java" is included in every profile and it 
will decide if "Java7" needs to be installed.

Make sure to read the change log file shipping with WPKG, so you know 
what is really supported.
