Usually? Users will put their custom rules where it's needed to make
them work, I do not think this is a great argument.

The rules.d/ directory file names. For the debian package I'm documenting
a policy like "all default permissions are set before 030_*" and "RUN
rules must be set from z40_* onward" (the actual values will change).
If the order of rules is important, then this needs to be documented to
allow users and package maintainers to choose the right file names.
