I find it convenient sometimes (especially when using UML) to have d-i halt
the system as its final step, rather than rebooting it. Rebooting in UML
re-execs the kernel with exactly the same command line, which causes the
installer to be started, rather than booting from the installed system.
I could also see this being useful for embedded systems, where it is
sometimes common to perform the first stage of installation and then stop,
shipping an image which will be configured by the end user after flashing it
into a device such as a PDA.
Anyway, here's a patch:

AFAIK Bastian implemented this for s390 in a different way, so I'm
closing the report. Let me know if you need anything else.
