Sorry I have no answer as to how to prevent packing but if you were to use a project hook to:

ProjectHook::BeforeBuild
set resource off
copy foxuser.dbf to foxsave.dbf
copy foxuser.fpt to foxsave.fpt

ProjectHook::AfterBuild
set resource off
copy foxsave.dbf to foxuser.dbf
copy foxsave.fpt to foxuser.fpt

This will save you from having to remember to do this each time.
