ideally, symbol insertion into schematic would not be dependent of footprint/packaging. i try to find a way to create symbol library, only dependent of component catégories and affect part Numbers in a seconde time, Which this part number would be able to allocate the right foot print to the symbol.
but, i'ts a little bit difficult to have to wait about component drawing disponibility in "part search" and manage them in a one more time database
what's your practice about that ?
