I cannot find this limitation anywhere in the ISO 10206 standard. The only limitation is on passing components as variable parameters (section 6.7.3.3, "An actual variable parameter shall not denote a component of a variable where that variable possesses a type that is designated packed"). Indeed, several examples (e.g., section 6.12, example 4) show direct access to packed components.
Do you have a section in mind that supports this limitation?
No I was only remembering a message in this list, but it has already been answered that this is wrong.
