That's right, in the meantime I have abandonded the idea of booting to another runlevel, but I see no way to avoid rebooting to remove the write protection. This is inherent to this principle. There will be a list of files that must be writeable so the user can decide what will be configurable on the running system. Another option is to configure the system without using the wp package. There will also be the possibility to decide at boot time to use the write protection, with a configurable timeout to allow unattended reboots.
