Not really, just unusual, as I haven't really needed to use dpkg-divert before, probably because it's rare
to have config files outside the usual locations.

Using dpkg-divert is fine. Maybe adding a single comment line mentioning dpkg-divert in /usr/share/alsa-card-profile/mixer/profile-sets/default.conf, just above the include of 9999-custom.conf would be helpful.
