Bug Description

With recent images (tested 208), the root partition is now writable by default:

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ mount |grep '/ '
/dev/loop0 on / type ext2 (rw,relatime,errors=continue)

That's unexpeted and undesired. It also causes tests to actually install test dependencies with dpkg (when running through autopkgtest), instead of using the desired "unpack into temp dir" mode.

Note that there is no /userdata/.writable_image stamp, this happens right after a fresh reinstall from scratch (no update).

This is on mako. On the emulator the root partition has always been r/w, which is also highly undesired, but at least not a regression.

This appears to happen only on dual-boot installs.

Yeah, unable to reproduce with krillin/mako when flashing with bootstrap.
