The actual board footprint you want depends on the layout tool’s library and the board fabrication processes. This is beyond the scope of geda-gaf. Lately, I’ve been mapping footprints using a “database” that has entries like:

I guess in gschem you fill in footprint value "0603" and then you choose a little bit different fooprint for reflow soldering and wave soldering even though package size is the same. This sounds good.
