I've done a little research and found this:
  • Various waveforms are stored in /opt/eink/images/ in *.wbf files.
  • Helper links to these files (named after waveform versions) are in /var/local/eink/.
  • If file /var/local/eink/dont_update is present, the waveform won't be flashed. Ever.
  • If file /var/local/eink/update_flash is present, the waveform will be flashed and then the file will be removed.

So all it takes to stop flashing the waveform is to create file /var/local/eink/dont_update . Easy peasy.
I can create a launchpad .ini file if someone's interested.
