That's exactly why I suggested 100. Since this is the same priority as installed packages apt/itude will upgrade the package if newer versions are available, but will not install new packages, unless specifically requested to. Anything higher than 100 and one might pull packages from experimental without intending to. BTW, this is the same priority used by backports now.
