I worked with Miquel about this when building the genpower package.  Now,
this is done as the final action of "halt"...

  callandor:~> tail /etc/init.d/halt
  
  mount -n -o remount,ro /
  
  # See if we need to cut the power.
  if [ -x /etc/init.d/ups-monitor ]
  then
          /etc/init.d/ups-monitor poweroff
  fi
  
  halt -d -f


Any UPS monitoring package should provide the virtual package "ups-monitor"
and provide an /etc/init.d/ups-monitor script.  Genpower just has this
as a link to the genpower script in init.d.

If nobody else wants it, I'll take it. (but only if nobody else wants it --
I'm pretty swamped)
