The path needs to exist in the rootfs, otherwise we can't bind-mount
stuff onto it. So you need to have livecd-rootfs or some touch package
create the directory, move the files from /etc to that directory and
replace them with symlinks.

I don't believe any of those are conffiles or even shipped within
packages (they're generated at postinst), so there shouldn't be any need
for dpkg-divert or similar magic to keep stuff consistent.
