There's potentially a whole lot of fun stuff to test with the otaup elekra keys: You could play with the PATH ones, and send a few of them to /dev/null, and see what happens.

Depending on whether they use a copy or a move, that might not help (as a move won't work across FS boundaries), again, depending on how failure is handled.

The Elektra DB is mildly annoying to permanently affect, though, as it's a RO loop-mounted cramfs (or squashfs, now).
USBNet has a very very very dirty hack to do just that when custom MACs are enabled.
