If what you want to do is override the priorities given by the package
the supported method is to overwrite the symlinks in /etc/alternatives
to point at the option you'd like to choose. update-alternatives will
notice and won't touch the symlinks unless you tell it to go back into
automatic mode. The proprities given are only defaults - you are free
to override them.
