Bug#777348: systemd-sysv: 'shutdown -rf now' doesn't work

[Török Edwin]

Package: systemd-sysv
Version: 215-10
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?

  Upgrade a test VM from Debian wheezy to jessie

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

 'shutdown -rf now' command doesn't work anymore.

* What was the outcome of this action?

root at debianwheezy:~# shutdown -rf now
Code should not be reached 'Unhandled option' at ../src/systemctl/systemctl.c:6316, function shutdown_parse_argv(). Aborting.
Aborted

* What outcome did you expect instead?
	
Either:
 * rebooting the system like it used to for wheezy
 * an error message that tells me that the '-f' flag is no (longer) supported

I did not expect to see an internal error in shutdown when called with wrong arguments.

FWIW if I use a truly unknown option I get a better error message:
# shutdown -z
shutdown: invalid option -- 'z'


* Workaround: use 'shutdown -r now' instead
