That's what makes the jailbreak persistent.

Note, there's an option to block updates on the either KUAL+ or Helper add-on. I highly recommend enabling it from there.

The option does two things:
  1. create /mnt/us/update.bin.tmp.partial directory
  2. create /var/local/system/SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK file

Consider #2 an extra level of protection. In my case, SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK also greatly helped improve battery life (my PW4 was draining at 1-2% per hour on idle with wifi on).
Ok, I got the customer firmware; so I just install by putting in root. Then update. Then run Hotfix: JailBreak-1.15.N-FW-5.x-hotfix.zip.

Do I also have to reinstall screensaver hack files again?
