[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#717488: Please always launch /etc/init.d/ups-monitor when halting the system

Well, I don't know. I guess it just wasn't logic enough to call ups-monitor 
with the "poweroff" argument when the system INIT_HALT is not set to poweroff 
itself...

Let's ask Arnaud and Laurent (nut maintainers) if they have more information on 
the matter (cc).
