I use the split-up symbols for most logic parts. Last year I posted a utility that reads a gschem logic symbol file with embedded power connections and outputs a new symbol file without the embedded power connections and a new symbol file with only the power pins. The script worked on the 74xx series symbols that come with gschem.
