The "Expert One-on-One Oracle" book by Tom Kyte has an appendix that covers what he considers to be the "required" packages for everyone to be familiar with. I think this only goes up through 8i, but this is one of those essential books you should probably have anyway -- and it might be enough to avoid buying the 1998 book you mention (which sits on my shelf but doesn't get much use these days).
For 9i, consider the following very good value:
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/oracle9ipdf/
which is "10g aware". If you search the downloadable PDF document for "DBMS_", you will find additional information and examples on some of the more important, newer 9i packages (or updates to 8i packages), such as DBMS_STATS, DBMS_LOGMNR, DBMS_REDEFINITION, DBMS_FGA, DMBS_FLASHBACK, and DBMS_WM.
