/etc is fine for local system config files and udev uses
them. Rules files from packages are placed in /usr/lib.
Having default configuration outside of /etc is not
uncommon. This is described in the second section of
udev(1):
The udev rules are read from the files located in the
system rules directory /usr/lib/udev/rules.d, the
volatile runtime directory /run/udev/rules.d and the
local administration directory /etc/udev/rules.d. All
rules files are collectively sorted and processed in
lexical order, regardless of the directories in which
they live. However, files with identical filenames
replace each other. Files in /etc have the highest
priority, files in /run take precedence over files with
the same name in /usr/lib. This can be used to override a
system-supplied rules file with a local file if needed; a
symlink in /etc with the same name as a rules file in
/usr/lib, pointing to /dev/null, disables the rules file
entirely. Rule files must have the extension .rules;
other extensions are ignored.
