Yes that is correct. In fact you could look at it as additional security 
feature. i.e. functions from a package can only be accessed by a certain 
users..:-)

Besides there is only one grant you need per schema, that is usage. Shouldn't 
be a such a big problem, isn't it?

I would be surprised if oracle packages did not provide this feature.

Check schema search path

I just checked if I could create nested schemas. That would be way too cool.. 
but it is not supported..:-(
