Yes, if not specified otherwise '0' means successful.

Yes, it's superfluous, however it does not harm to specify it. Until
WPKG 1.0 an exit code of 0 could not be assigned to a reboot but current
WPKG releases support this too. So it's common practice not to specify
exit code 0 unless you want to assign any type of reboot to this code.
