Though not documented in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes (misprint in the sysklogd section mentions power-off, when I believe it should be pertaining to sysvinit), you should install sysvinit-2.76. I get it at
ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/people/miquels/software/sysvinit-2.76.tar.gz
I happen to have Debian 2.0 installed, and I use "shutdown -h now" in order to poweroff my machine. This works as it should with kernel 2.2.x. The halt script's last line contains "halt -d -f -i -p"
