You don't need apmd on a server. True enough.
However, this could be a desktop machine, like my dual celeron box. In
that case, and you want to have the machine power off when you halt it,
pass "apm=smp-power-off" to the kernel. Make sure you've got the option
CONFIG_APM_POWER_OFF=y in your kernel config.
