Bug Description
Bq Aquaris E4.5 / Ubuntu 15.04 (r24)
When reporting incidents and problems, users commonly include the version information presented in system settings.
It is becoming clear that the first piece of additional information sought by responders is whether the image is (or has been) writable , and therefore in a potentially untested state.
System Settings should include an annotation in its reported version strings to indicate that the image is writable.
This should be designed at the same time as bug 1385339 and bug 1334257.

I think it would be desireable if the annotation were persistent until a system reset is performed - so if your filesystem is ever writable, the flag is remembered.
