Dropping severity to non-RC (it seems a workaround exists, at least), and
reassigning to sysvinit in the hope that a sysvinit maintainer can shed
some light on this...

Here's a summary for the sysvinit maintainers (Jürgen, please reply to
672358 at bugs.debian.org to correct anything I've got wrong).

Jürgen has several systems running a fresh installation of wheezy,
with the proprietary nVidia drivers and a kernel.org kernel.

On one of those systems (an Acer Aspire 8930G-944 notebook), the system
hangs during shutdown while "killing remaining processes" (presumably
/etc/init.d/killprocs), the system hangs.

Adding symlinks to kill dbus in rc0.d, rc1.d, rc6.d (via
/etc/insserv/overrides) seems to fix this (initial message). (dbus has
relied on killprocs to kill the system dbus-daemon since squeeze, which
I believe is meant to be valid.)

If I'm reading a later mail correctly (it was sent directly to me,
but I've quoted it on the bug), Jürgen might also have been able to
fix this by setting INIT_HALT=POWEROFF in /etc/default/halt. (Jürgen:
is this what you meant?)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
