*-persistent*.rules should *not* be modified because changes may create problems with upgrades (or later package install (they are automagically created by *-generator scripts). Instead create a rule that is processed before /lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-input.rules and targets that exact device (the IR device). udev rules are processed in lexical order and /etc/udev/rules.d/ have precedence over rules in /lib/udev/rules.d (which has precedence over rules in /run/udev/rules.d) e.g. /etc/udev/rules.d/59-irda-custom.rules (I like to put "custom" into the name of customized rules and config files to make it easier to backup the modifications).
