I've implemented the above solution locally, and meanwhile uploaded this for the beta:
usplash (0.1-34) dapper; urgency=low
.
* When we are killed by SIGTERM, shut down gracefully, but don't switch VTs
(workaround for Malone #34537)
- This means that we fall back to text mode at the end of the shutdown
sequence, rather than concealing messages (especially the casper
prompt to press enter)
