The only thing I'd be very careful about is how you group things together in packages. Oracle loads a whole package into memory, so the number of packages loaded and how efficiently memory/caching is depends on how your packages are structured - I think its often better to have lots of small packages rather than a few large ones, especially if your applications are not going to use all (or most) of the procedures/functions which make up a large package.
