*sigh* There it is... I just scanned the directory quickly and missed it.
(If I'd been thinking, I would've just looked at the last S entry - not much
point in trying to do anything else after shutting down, after all...)

Basically the same here, except Debian adds a -i also. ("Shut down all
network interfaces just before halt or reboot.")

man shutdown states that it calls init to change the runlevel. man halt says
that it calls shutdown unless -f is specified. This would appear to indicate
that if 0 were made a non-shutdown runlevel, calling `shutdown -h now` or
`halt` would leave the system up, which is how I interpreted the original
statement that "shutdown/reboot/halt are hardcoded to runlevels 0,1,6".
Thanks for the info!
