Only public and protected functions can be virtual. private and package
functions are never virtual. This is by design.

The docs say:
"All non-static non-private non-template member functions are virtual."
To me that says that methods marked with "package" are virtual. It's
been like that in the documentation forever. So I don't know if "by
design" is correct. I also know that package methods have never been
virtual so I don't know what the actual design is.
This is a common, annoying, problem with D: What is correct when DMD,
the documentation and TDPL all are different?
