The Google style guide is worth a read through, as the subsequent point recognizes the difficulties around package size. It can make sense to have a package with a single function, and it can almost make sense to stuff your entire program/library in a single package.
The two rules work that exacerbate this tension are precisely visibility and no cyclic dependencies.
The perfect is the enemy of the good. Forbidding cyclic dependencies is one such case, IMO.
