No. But looking at the Beowulf changelog... sysvinit (2.93-8+devuan1) unstable; urgency=medium * merge 2.93-8 into unstable -- Vincenzo (KatolaZ) Nicosia <[email protected]> Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:59:47 +0000 sysvinit (2.93-8) unstable; urgency=medium * Return alternative dependency on file-rc for convenience of stretch -> bustern upgrade for file-rc users. -- Dmitry Bogatov <[email protected]> Thu, 14 Feb 2019 20:33:13 +0000 sysvinit (2.93-7+devuan1) unstable; urgency=medium * merge 2.93-7 into unstable -- Vincenzo (KatolaZ) Nicosia <[email protected]> Mon, 04 Feb 2019 09:53:28 +0000 KatolaZ seems to have been the most recent force for keeping sysvinit-core updated with Debian devs only chipping in when it caused issues for Debian. 'halt' from Debian hasn't been updated for a year, but then updates should be infrequent for a stable core binary. This is also exactly what I would expect when the (Debian) Devs have no vested interest in maintaining a (sysvinit) package. So instead of comparing 'halt' man pages I suggest you compare the source versions.
