Only put one footprint per refses, don't need one per symbol.
Try putting all the one-time information in the pwr symbol, that way it will always be there, and if you don't need one or more of the io's all the footprint/copyright/documentation/foo attributes are still available.  The only attributes needed for io's is 'slot'.

Perhaps I should add a wiki article at www.geda.seul/wiki
