Mounting /etc read-only makes no sense at all, config files are designed to
be writable.
Relatedly, files which are not intended to be reconfigured by the system
administrator belong into /usr/share, not /etc. Unfortunately, quite some
software gets this wrong (basically, any file in /etc not marked %config is
a sign that something is abusing /etc).
