I'm not sure.. I don't have a lot of experience customizing generators.. however I would suggest that simply adding a column to hold the user entered value would be easier than trying to manipulate symfony to use a different kind of primary key. Primary keys are database constructs meant to uniquely identify records. If the user is entering these they may not always be unique, and I'm sure that the value you are entering is for another purpose other than database integrity. I'm guessing adding a new field will work seemlessly with the generators and not require you to change the default behavior of things. Again however I don't work with generators much at this point and I don't know if there is an easy way to do what you want to do there. My perspective simply is that you would be misusing the primary key by trying to make it a user entered value.
