Package: initscripts
Version: 3.06-2devuan1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: none, Olaf Meeuwissen <paddy-hack@???>

Dear Maintainer,

Every time I `poweroff` my machine, I see error message flash by that
complain about `halt` being called with unsupported options. I think
I have tracked this down to /etc/init.d/halt making blind assumptions
about the options supported by the `halt` command.

Said command may be provided by any of a number of packages. A quick
`apt-file search sbin/halt` turns up

$ apt-file search sbin/halt
bfh-container: /sbin/halt
finit-sysv: /sbin/halt
molly-guard: /sbin/halt
progress-linux-container: /sbin/halt
runit-init: /sbin/halt
systemd-sysv: /sbin/halt
sysvinit-core: /sbin/halt

Mine happens to be

$ ls -l /sbin/halt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Feb 10 03:45 /sbin/halt -> /lib/runit/shutdown

where the symlink target is from the runit package. According to the
manual page, my halt command only supports -f, -w and -n short options.

The /etc/init.d/halt script may invokes the halt command with -d and -f
options and may add any of -i, -p and -h.

BTW, I also have runit-init installed which provides the `poweroff` and
`halt` commands that get executed. Seeing that runit-init depends on
initscripts one could argue that runit-init should support those options
in which case feel free to forward this to that package (in the Debian
BTS). From past experience, its maintainer is open to init freedom ;-)

If not a runit-init issue, this may still be worthwhile to upstream to
the Debian BTS for initscripts. Even the systemd-sysv `halt` does not
claim to support -i or -h options in its manual page :-o
