I tried it, and everything **seem** ;) okay. A quick look at the code didn't reveal anything I should be concerned about. What I want to do is deploy all my packages, then disable WPKG. Then I could run the WPKG updates on a fixed schedule and not at start-up.

Generally speaking the priority id just an integer number and will be 
sorted accordingly.

I don't think there should be any negative impact when using negative 
priority, but keeping all priorities in the positive range doesn't hurt 
either.

In more recent releases of WPKG the priority has lower impact on the 
installation order, since you can specify dependencies, chain packages 
and much more.
