What about the following idea?
1) Replace "net=xxx" attributes from all symbols winh something other, like "power=xxx" (an automated tool may use "power=" attributes to guess what power symbol to use or create)
or
2b) use small tool that will look for "power=xxx" attributes inside the symbol and add suitable external "net=xxx" attribure, possibly renaming VCC net from TTLs and VDD from CMOSes to +5Vd or so if user wants this.
Recently I had some problems with connecting VSS power supply of 4000 series CMOS chips to the ground net named GND. Simply connecting two power symbol to ground doesn't work.
