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.
