At one point I set my system up so that several key directories had
the immutable bit set do you couldn't change them. Ofcourse, I still
wanted upgrades to work so I used APT hooks to remove the bits prior
to installing and add them back afterwards.

It was a proofof concept, but it worked.

Have a nice day,
