Package: systemd-sysv Version: 215-17+deb8u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The "halt" command behaviour has changed between Debian Wheezy and Debian Jessie. On Wheezy (running sysvinit), when you run "halt", it stops OS and then disconnects power. On Jessie (running systemd), it just stops OS and then hangs. If you're on a virtual machine, you're able to see messages like: "Failed to finalize DM device, ignoring" and "System halted" but the Virtual Machine just hangs with OS off and VM still running. I took a look to the release notes and didn't notice anything about this behaviour change. The documentation seems not to make difference between using halt, poweroff or shutdown -h now: https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/i386/ch08s01.html.en Please let me know if I miss something.
