It's the pin number. If you want to connect pin 2 to a net, it's :2. There's a patch to have it default to :1, but there's some resistance to it among the developers. 

I suggested recently that indexed attributes should attach the index to the name rather than the value, thus "net:1=Vcc" (and I think this would help with some other problems). That suggestion was well received, but it's a considerably more drastic change.

This message contains technical discussion involving difficult issues. No personal disrespect or malice is intended. If you perceive such, your perception is simply wrong. I'm a busy person, and in my business "go along to get along" causes mission failures and sometimes kills people, so I tend to be a bit blunt.
