Again: looks like here is misunderstanding. Exepacking is not "use
compression inside program" and, until exepacker license allows free
unpacking stubs (unarchiver) distribution, there shouldn't be any problem.
Or I misunderstand GPL and it prevents packing GPLed programs into archives
(by unfree programs or programs, with proprietary compression schemes) and
it prevents distribution GPLed programs together with unfree software
(whereas this unfree software isn't required for free executable and isn't
its essential part)?
