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.
