That's arguable.

This will automatically happen, as long as you make sure that the local
library is added last in the project's gafrc.

Run git unstable and you'll see what I mean.

This has been discussed before, and it seems to me that this is a bit too
magic to be part of core libgeda. However, in theory this would be
straightforward to implement using e.g. Scheme hooks. (Look at the slotting
& symversion code for the reason I'm desperate to avoid putting yet more
magic into libgeda. BTW, does anyone actually use symversion attributes for
anything, at all?)
I'll reiterate my previous invitation: if someone comes up with an
interesting-looking patch, I may change my mind. :P
Could you please open a feature request with a description of the exact
functionality you require?
