My experience before the upgrade:
* poweroff = display switched off & all lights dead (except red PWR)
* halt = all lights on & display still on (last line: System halted)
* reboot = system poweroff, rainbow screen and again booting...

HALT=poweroff (which is the default value) is the same as "shutdown -h
-P now".
HALT=halt should be the same as "shutdown -h -H now".

Unfortunately that's not true. As mentioned above, "halt" suspends the
system, but the display and status lights are still on. That's not a
nice pseudo-poweroff like in good old days.
If you want, I can upload the old packages (1.20130524-1~nokernel2) to
a public webserver. Then interested parties can test it against their
own RPi.
