So EUPL is to AGPL what LGPL is to GPL?

To paraphrase, EUPL would be the LGPL of AGPL? LGPL where "distribution" also means "distributing the output trough a webpage".

One of the major advantages of LGPL is that users can link their own modified libraries, so that analogy doesn't hold all the way, but linking is permitted and non-viral.

I'd concur, but careful with the wording.

Distribution requires user interaction, not pregenerated output from an internal tool.

".. or providing access to its essential functionalities at the disposal of any other natural or legal person."
