Hi Miguel,
Don't know if it is related but maybe you'd like to know that something
similar was discussed on debian-user-french :
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user-french/2014/11/msg00336.html
(if you can read French as your mail address suggests).
To sum it up for non French speakers : someone said that « halt » should be
replaced by « halt -p » or « systemctl poweroff ».
Another message talking about the impossibility to poweroff from kde
solved the problem by installing systemd-shim.
Hope you'll be able to solve your problem,
