Unfortunately, it is not that easy. gnetlist delivers the footprint of 
the first symbol of a given refdes in a gschem file. If this symbol does 
not contain a footprint, gnetlist does not output a footprint for this 
refdes at all -- no matter what value the footprint attribute of the 
other instances is.

Yes, this is exactly the pitfall that my patch fixed, whose acceptance 
you violently and successfully opposed.

Who expects a renumber script to distribute symbols with a common refdes 
to several refdeses?
