since you're running 2.4.1, default/nut is gone and is replaced by the
distro agnostic /etc/nut/nut.conf
put "standalone" here and you're done. or simply updating an installing with
default will guess it for you ;-)
as explained in /usr/share/doc/nut/README.Debian.gz

now the POWEROFF_WAIT is the only remainder that isn't integrated into
nut.conf.
I'm still hesitating about that (for the reasons stated at the same place),
but if you feel you really need it, edit init.d/nut and add it here... there
is nothing about poweroff else apart from that.
you should still have a /etc/default/nut.dpkg-old sitting around.
