Currently we (may) have different symbol files for the the same device with different footprints. So we have the same graphics elements multiple times. This is redundancy, wast of storage area, and it makes it more work to modify the graphics. So it is not a perfect solution. And replacing a symbol in a schematic only because we want a different footprint is not a very natural way for me.
