The way I've seen this done in Java is to use a package called ".spi", the Service Provider Interface package. Internal stuff is in ".internal" packages (which Eclipse uses a lot). When you import something from a ".internal" package, you know you're not on solid ground. I've also seen ".impl" packages, which IMO is not a good name. I've never seen a .private. package though.
