[snip excellent explanation]

Adam,

thank you very much for your detailed explanation of the problem and the 
pointers to possible solutions.

Unfortunately, the generic interface is basically cast in stone, but after 
realizing that I can move the *instantiation* of the generic to its own 
package, I'm perfectly OK with the following solution

---%<---
with CALLBACK;
generic
package USE_CALLBACK is
    procedure HANDLER;
private
    CALLBACK_ACCESS : constant CALLBACK.CALLBACK_T := HANDLER'Access;
end USE_CALLBACK;
--->%---

suggested by Georg.

Regards,
Markus
