I mean the behaviour of /etc/init.d/halt is determined by /etc/default/halt, not by the command line. The behaviour of that script is set by the administrator. And I agree, command line options usually do override configuration files. And maybe it should here, but that's up to whomever is maintaining the /etc/init.d/halt script.
