It's also worth to note that many files in /lib/udev/rules.d belong to
various other packages; they add their own configuration to udev in
support of hotplugging their things. I think you do best in leaving them
intact for eudev to use. Files in /etc/udev/rules.d are notionally your
sysadmin's poetry, with site local configuration, and likewise, should
probably be kept as well.
