The distinction between derived works and aggregations is not made by GPL, it's made by the copyright law. The license can say that certain kinds of derived works don't require all code to be GPLed. For example, LGPL makes an exception for linking.
GPL v3 explains the meaning of aggregation, because it's designed to work uniformly in different jurisdictions. If you want that definition changed, you should submit your comments to FSF.
