It's my understanding (and I say this with the hope/expectation that
I'll be corrected if I'm wrong) that /lib/udev/rules.d/ is where *most*
package rules should go -- basically, anything for which the sysadmin
should have no reason to edit.   /etc/udev/rules.d/ would be for
system-specific rules and/or generated rules (e.g. persistent optical
and network devices rules files, and other things that might change over
the life of the system).
