[Bug 1361124] [NEW] Image is now writable by default

 

Public bug reported:

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).

** Affects: initramfs-tools-ubuntu-touch (Ubuntu)
