Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
It would be useful to present the user a shutdown (poweroff) option at
the end of a successful installation, in addition to the restart option
that's already there.
The use case I have in mind is for OEMs, who will install to a disk,
shut down the machine, then create an image of the disk to be cloned and
used in other machines. In this case it's best if we have a clean
shutdown rather than (for example) require the person installing to try
to kill power to the machine during the restart (a partial restart can
result in grub starting to load the OS before power is killed, which in
turn results in grub displaying the boot menu on all machines cloned
from the image).
d-i has a preseed option for this, 'debian-installer/exit/poweroff
boolean'. Respecting that or implementing a comparable
'ubiquity/poweroff' preseed option would be useful too.
ubiquity version is 2.4.8 from 10.10
