So you don=92t really have a refdes to start from: it doesn=92t identify =
the component.

But that=92s not how geda-gaf works. Choosing refdeses is part of how =
the user communicates her intentions.
We could have better DRC: gnet-drc2 does not properly model the =
capabilities of the kit, finding lots of errors where there are none. =
The real errors are hidden in the spew, but should be detectable with =
better logic.

How is it hard for a user to understand that symbols need to be =
distinguishable at the schematic level? And that when merging symbols =
into one package, they=92ll get the package=92s refdes and their own pin =
numbers. I don=92t think it=92s that hard.
