My view is that it's not a private API because, as Mike Wolson said, it's the Market client doing the installation. I suppose it's a question of what exactly constitutes an API. An argument could be made that it's not an API at all - much less a private one - analogous to, say, powering off the phone. It's a core function of the OS, not necessarily something accessible to third-party apps.
Should there be a better API for it? Quite possibly. Did there used to be? Yes, as Al Sutton pointed out. But it's open to interpretation, a matter of opinion.
