I am currently doing my first gEDA PCB board and I have to say that I am worried that footprints will be error prone. It is disheartening to hear that someone with more gEDA experience then me, also shares that opinion. If only there was a flag which footprints were verified on an already created gEDA PCB....
Errors in footprint (and symbol) libraries are an EDA problem not just a gEDA problem. You need to verify that a footprint matches the manufacturer's specification and your process specification. Different manufacturer's sometimes have different specifications for the same package style. After I verify a footprint I move it to a "released for production" directory. I have gsch2pcb only use footprints from that directory.
