In that case we are missing documentation for the shutdown/halt procedure more 
than ever.
Very often halt.local is where we'd do stuff like powering off UPS outlets, to 
handle power-outage scenarios properly. It may not have been documented or 
placed ideally, but AFAIKT, it's actually always worked. Without the 
halt-local.service, we're missing that easy hook, as I see it.

The nut package for one, does not include a systemd unit that can do the
exact same thing, and to my experience, figuring out exactly which
depencencies to create for a new unit tile to accomplish the same
without breaking something else, is really not that well documented, or
just not very easy to find.
