@Clint Byrum,

I do not think it is right to invalidate the bug for upstart.

As i had already said there is a shutdown script in the package "initscripts" 
-> /etc/init.d/halt.
It takes its config options from /etc/default/halt and it controls what the 
computer will do when shutting down - halt or poweroff.
The problem is that since the change in the upstart's halt command,  this init 
script stopped working...

Considering the fact that some of the desktop managers use just the halt
or shutdown commands to poweroff a pc, i think changes should be made in
the upstart package, so the user be able to choose what the halt command
actually does (probably move the halt init script to upstart or
whatever). The default state of halt should be using poweroff like all
other distroes... and that should be controlled via the init scripts...
..

As a whole this "fix" of halt/poweroff brought too much problems that
need addressing.... Of course we are mostly talking about the upgrade of
older Ubuntu versions situations anyway...
