I (the debian maintainer) have been able to confirm this bug in saucy.
I suspect it is due to the use of respawn in the /etc/init/salt-
master.conf file.
I didn't seem to be able to set the importance, but once salt is
installed, shutdowns are severely delayed as the system waits for the
salt-master to stop properly.
** Changed in: salt (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
