I'm pretty sure everyone will have a different way to deal with this.
My personal preference is to keep the footprint consistent and have
different symbols for variances in pin numbering.

My reasoning: the footprint is a physical description of a component
and can represent multiple components. The schematic is the logical
description and the logic (pin numbering in this case) varies for
different components.
