On all the machines I have tested so far with Precise, running "halt" by itself only halts the machine but doesn't power it off.

However, running halt -p powers it off just fine. Was this change documented somewhere or is it a true bug?

/etc/defaults/halt has the same POWEROFF entry on 10.04 as 12.04 yet 10.04 halts and powers off just fine if issued the halt command.
