Now I think you need poweroff:

andrea@dragon:~/devel/dcex$ dpkg -S poweroff
sysvinit: /sbin/poweroff
sysvinit: /usr/man/man8/poweroff.8.gz

Take a new sysvinit source for example from the debian site:

ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/hamm/hamm/source/base/sysvinit*.orig.tar.gz

To force a poweroff run:

poweroff -d -f -i
