Yes, it shouldn't cause any problems.
I suspect that you are using the example apt.conf from
/usr/share/docs/apt/examples, which includes an option
to remount /usr ro after an upgrade. You might want to
look at the options in that file closely, as it's only
meant as an example, and there may be things that you
don't want enabled (other than this).
Please cc further questions such as this to -user instead
of -devel, as they are more appropriately addressed on that
list.
