Correct.  It was just a paranoid thing to prevent any chance of a filesystem
being supermounted during shutdown...

I didn't actually see the problems myself (Benjamin: can you elaborate for
Chmouel?); I added this for Benjamin to eliminate his need to edit the halt
script to remove "-p"...  /halt gets removed at startup; this was a very
specific workaround to give him a permanent /halt file.  Not elegant, or even
desirable except for this one case.  I might have a better idea what the problem
was if there was a way to do a screen capture on a virtual console at the moment
just before poweroff...  :^)

I'll have a look at it tonight...
