Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.84-3
Severity: normal

I'd suggest to move flushing IDE hard disks to the beginning of
/etc/init.d/halt, so that it happens before turning off the UPS.
After the UPS is off, there is nothing to flush anymore...

Certainly not the responsibility of sysvinit, and it does appear
that the kernel handles syncing and poweroff of discs itself
nowadays.  If there are any remaining issues here, they should
probably be directed to the kernel.
