As of 0.2.3.development.1, you can turn rules off by default using this syntax:

https://gitweb.torproject.org/https-everywhere.git/blob/8cf8b4e76893d72ee6ead604e50cdc29a6003533:/src/chrome/content/rules/Amazon-off-by-default.xml

The other option would be to put them in a problematic/ subdirectory in e-l-r
that isn't read by the extension.
