As a security measure, I mount my boot partition as RO. It may be a good idea to use the elevated privileges of APT while upgrading to check for this and remount the boot partition as RW before installing the new kernel and reset the partition to RO immediatly afterwards. I keep forgetting to do this every time I see a kernel upgrade on the update list.
