I've committed a change, to ignore rules files with identical file
names found in /lib/udev/rules.d/, /etc/udev/rules.d/ and
/dev/.udev/rules.d/.
The files in /etc/udev/rules/ (and /dev/.udev/rules.d/) have precedence
over files in /lib/udev/rules.d/. This allows the custom system config in
/etc to overwrite whole rules files of the default rules. If empty files
are created, udev will completely ignore the default rules files with
the same name.
Thanks,
Kay

This looks like another case of "my packaging system sucks at managing
configuration files"...
