This issue appeared in baselayout some versions ago and seems to remain present in the current version, so I figured it would be worth mentioning. Anyhow, let us examine /etc/init.d/halt.sh: lines 27 to 30 cause four temporary files to be created in section of the file (lines 24-73), but lines 64-69 show it is possible for at least one of them not to be removed by the end of the script: - if ${devices_totar} is not empty, two of the files will be deleted and one will hopefully be renamed to a non-temporary name, but ${devices_totar} itself will remain; - otherwise, ALL FOUR temporary files will remain. The attached patch fixes the problem.

Great, I've just run upgrade and it turns out this HAS been fixed recently, some time between the time I patched my script and the time I managed to find a while to post it... Sorry about the fuss.
