This seems good enough to me:


db_query("UPDATE {system} SET weight = 88 WHERE name = 'devel'");

The following issue lead to add a weight field to the {system} table.
http://drupal.org/node/42886


But how to use? How contrib modules can/should use the weight column in
the system table? Updating the {system} table themselves from within the
installation hook [1], the enable hook [2] ?


Is it as simple as document the feature? ...or it is also required some
kind of API to update the weight of a module?

I simply updated the table directly. See devel_update_1 in
contrib/modules/devel/.
