Poweroff is part of package "sysvinit" and is a symlink to `halt`:
mystaz@toaster tmp $ ls -l /sbin/poweroff
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Sep 30 17:19 /sbin/poweroff
-> halt*
mystaz@toaster tmp $
And `man halt` states:
-p When halting the system, do a poweroff. This is the
default when halt is called as poweroff.
