You mentioned thus their:


"Mount options typically restrict features of the partition, including
whether it can support executables, SUID files, and device files. While
content on "static" partitions can change, it typically doesn't over a
normal use cycle, and is only modified during system upgrades. Debian
provides options to allow remounting partitions as writable and/or
read-only during the upgrade process, see system documentation for more
information [Ed: I should be more specific, it's apt related stuff
2001/04/13]."

Can you provide more information about this?

This sounds like a useful security setup.
