Comment 17 for bug 1532553

Fair enough...

As mentioned earlier, this may be from a systemv time and perhaps from Red Hat, I'm not sure. I do know that /usr/sbin/halt.local works in both Wily and in debian 8 out of the box, the file is just located in dpkg-managed space, which makes no sense.

Look, I'm not actually arguing that we keep this particular file, but I think we need to keep the functionality. /lib/systemd/system-shutdown/ seems to provide that functionality, but again, this is in dpkg-managed territory. Is there a user managed folder that is handled the same?

If I need to create my own unit-file, I'd be happy to, but I've had a hard time figuring out the proper requiremends/dependencies/befores and afters that will make this the very last thing to run, just before the system prints "system halted". This is where the need for further documentation comes in (or perhaps I'm just too dense to find it)

If you can help point me to somewhere that will allow me to figure our the correct dependencies etc for a new unit-file, I'll be happy to let this go :-)
