Those options are indeed available in the case of the wheezy version of
/sbin/shutdown, which belongs to the sysvinit package. The OP appears to
be running jessie (given that he upgraded initramfs-tools this morning),
where that same command belongs to the systemd-sysv package, and does
not offer the -[fF] options.
