I suppose so, and not just for package updates: if you run update-usbids,
the old one is overwritten AFAIK.  I didn't check the scripts, though.  But
as a long time Debian Developer and user, that's what is implied by its
location in /var.

If local admin changes are to be preserved, Debian policy mandates that it
belongs on /etc.
