Here's what worked for me:

  install_requires=[
      'private_package_name==1.1',
  ],
  dependency_links=[
      'git+ssh://git@github.com/username/private_repo.git#egg=private_package_name-1.1',
  ]

Note that you have to have the version number in the egg name, otherwise it will say it can't find the package.
