yes, and I did that for a while, but then an update to udev added it back in.

This of course is the downside of having this sort of thing in a set
of 'standard rules': it's hard to eliminate them without hacking udev before installation :/

Removing rules files would work fine if a) using dpkg and b) udev had left
its rules files as conffiles under /etc. This sort of situation is why dpkg does not add back deleted conffiles on upgrade. But since udev's rules files have moved to /lib/udev, deletion of rules files will no longer persist across upgrades.
Now it seems you'd have to create an empty version of the net generator rule
Rather a mess.

That was exactly my moan :)
I'm not sure that creating an empty version of the net generator rule file
> It does not matter in which directory a rule file lives, all files are
which could go either way.

dpkg-divert --add --local /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules --divert /lib/udev/die-die-die --rename ?
The use of /lib here does seem bizarre though.

Well, /lib/udev was already in use for other udev stuff which has to be runnable before /usr is mounted (e.g. /lib/udev/vol_id).
But, yes, putting what damn well should be conffiles (as witness the fact that people want to change them, even if udev upstream is resistant) in /lib is demented.

You are supposed to truncate the file, not remove it. It's the only way the SHA check will work as intended, presuming that the udev files are also marked as %config(noreplace) in rpm.
