that's the default behavior for any unix system if I'm not wrong. it
gets remounted as RW after it passes fsck. if the system finished
booting into its final runlevel (2 or 3, not single mode) and still runs
with / as RO then something is really wrong. If you are in single luser
mode (runlevel 1) then it might be for a good reson, but you can use:

mount -o remount,rw /

if you didn't kill your /var/ you can use "dpkg --get-selections" to see
what is/was the status of the package database.
