That is why I am forcing myself never to switch a package in hindsight 
(which would be possible in Eagle). When I find I need to change a 
footprint, for example because the chosen one turns out to be a 
purchasing nightmare, I delete all those parts, check in the library 
whether there is another more available one and that its attributes are 
kosher, and then place it everywhere. Saves a lot of grief when the 
netlist is generated.
