[sdiy] My newest pet peeve

That’s a bad symbol.

You do need a different symbol, but the new one should avoid pin numbers so that it can be universal.

I’ve seen too much of this in the public Eagle libraries, and I usually fix it (unless it’s a single-source processor that’s has no equivalent anyway).
