I'd be happy to find a correct and clean way to do this, because I also need to do it, and it seems to be a fairly common use case. I currently only delete the 75-persistent-net-generator.rules file (which I know is the wrong way to do it as it wont survive upgrades, though I currently don't know how to do it cleanly, so I have fallen back to that). It would be really nice to have a switch somewhere in /etc for this. Maybe upstream could work that out, so that we don't have to hack and hack again? I'm sure I'm not the only one to think that dpkg-divert over-engineering something that should be fixed upstream.
