Maybe we should extend existing library in a way that we clone existing 
symbols, prefix the names by use case and add/delete attributes. Since 
the currently available library wouldn't change at all, no existing 
schematics would be broken.

We now have resistor-1.sym and resistor-2.sym; we woulg then have these 
cloned as _P_resistor-1.sym and _P_resistor-2.sym, _P_ meaning they are 
intended for use on PCB.

Of course, this would increase the confusion of new users, but it should 
be no harder than getting the L/N/M suffix of some SMD footpritns in 
PCB.
