Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-51
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I wondered, why the behaviour of the command halt might have changed.
When I entered the command halt as root, my systems went down and then switched 
power off.
Now it changed that way, that it is going down, but does not switch power off. 
There is a prompt "System halted".

According to the manual halt -p does poweroff. This is working here, too.
So far, so well halt is working as the manual says. 

But when I correct understand, then /etc/default/halt says, the command halt 
shall do a poweroff. And when I understand the manual correctly, the single 
command halt is calling the command "shutdown -h". If I am correct, then the 
command halt is buggy.

If I am not correct, please enlighten me, and explain me, why the single 
command halt does no more poweroff, as it did before.

Does this maybe be related to the change from sysinit to systemd?

Please apologize, if this package is the wrong one, I reported the bug to.

Thanks for your help! 

Best regards

Hans
