Yes, indeed. I've just opened a pull request that fixes this, both for
member_create and member_delete in https://github.com/okfn/ckan/pull/754.

They're the same. It's just because datasets used to be called packages, so
there're many places in the code that they're still called like this.

There's no validation on the capacity value yet. But, for packages, as far
as I could see, the only recognized values are public and private.
