I think, using exepacker and or archiver _on_ (or joining unpacker _with_) program is not linkage _into_ program.

Yes, I think so, and Joergen Ibsen thinks so, but does anybody ask HIM who should know best?! Just because the GPL FAQ says that simple coexistence in one executable is "combining" and not "aggregation", doesn't mean that the parts of the compressed executable (the header, the stub and the data) are in any way linked together more than for example the files in a ZIP archive.
