TPDL, page 216: "Making an overridable function private in an

But the code example above compiles and runs fine.
See http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4542 .
By the D spec, private implies final. That means unimplemented private
methods in interfaces have little use. Also 'private override' should be an
error.
Or spec and compiler should be changed to be in line with TDPL.

Generally speaking, if the spec and TDPL are in conflict, TDPL is supposed to
win. Still, until Walter says something about it or it's fixed, we won't know
for
sure. I really do think that TDPL should win out in this case though. It would
not be good to be unable to do NVI.
I think TDPL should win in this case.
