Right.  If you want both, you can do something like this:

    package P is
        type T_Visible is abstract new ... with
            record
                ... -- visible stuff
            end record;
        type T is new T_Visible with private;
        ...
    private
        type T is new T_Visible with
            record
                ... -- private stuff
            end record;
    end P;
