I've talked about one solution for this, many times in the past...  my
idea is to tag the symbols with signal *names* and map the names to
package/pinout via whatever does the gschem->pcb migration.

That way, slotting and packaging are separate from the symbol, but can
be encapsulated elsewhere (and perhaps back-annotated to the
schematic).

It also allows us to expose pin/gate swapping to pcb.
