Pretty much the norm. You will find that so called "standards" vary a bit :-)
As you use the system you will build up your own library of parts that you have "tweaked" to fit your requirements. You should save these into your own library so that it does not get overwritten due to upgrades. The help file in pcbnew details a way to document and organise your modules. Basically you create a dummy board and place your modules on it. You can then recreate the modules by using the export function.
