I'm a Gentoo user. On my setups, I usually set the noauto flag for the /boot partition. Maybe its just some good 'ol fashion paranoia, but I like not to mount /boot unless really needed. Because I need to compile my own kernel, I have a kernel update script that mounts /boot for me.
I've just installed a Ubuntu server for a client, and want to set noauto for /boot. Can apt take care of /boot mounting when its updating the kernel, initramfs and/or grub?

You don't mention any disadvantage of having /boot mounted in the first place? Plus for most users it is mounted with / which is always mounted anyway.

@WinEunuuchs2Unix: Ubuntu default is included in /, yes. But the "old school" way is to keep it on a separate partition. So that if / encounters corruption, you can still launch the kernel, initramfs and fsck. This separation is the default for many distros. On top, something that's not mounted cannot corrupt during a power loss.

If you have a power loss without UPS then 99.99% of the time read only /boot would be the least of your concerns. As far as "old school" I can appreciate that. We all have different comfort zones.
