  Those days udev follow rules:
  - files in /usr/lib/udev (/lib/udev on Debian) are shipped with
    package, thus will be replaced by apt update; these files should not
    be modified
  - files in /etc/udev are owned by sysadmin. This is the proper place
    for customizations, files in /etc won't be touched by packaging
  - if there are files with the same name in /lib and /etc, the one
    from /etc (sysadmin-owned) wins.


Bonus rule, /run/udev files win over /etc, but are removed on reboot.

This is described in “man udev”, chapter “RULES FILES”.
