No, they are not. If you really think they are needed elsewhere we can move 
them.

But if possible I'd try to work using pkg as the common interface rather than 
adding
separate functions.

They where still subfunctions of pkg.m at the time of the 3.6.1 release.

pkg.m had a lot of subfunctions, they have been moved out to the /private folder
whith this changeset:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/cfb0173fe1ca?revcount=120

as discussed in this thread:

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Re-cleaning-up-pkg-m-tp4472636p4472636.html

Work on pkg.m is going on in the "default" branch so I think it will only be 
released
with 3.8.
