Are rules at that folder auto-activated or will the user need to make symlinks in /etc/udev/rules.d/ ?  Has a move happened with the folder?  Where can I read more about this?

/etc/udev/rules.d is purely for system administrators; packages should not be touching anything there.
If packages are installing udev rules, they should now be installed in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d instead of /etc/udev/rules.d.
