FYI:

By default, Ctrl-Alt-Del reboots the machine.
As has been pointed out once in this list (thanks to Michael Biebl),
you can have Ctrl-Alt-Del power off the machine by adding a link
/etc/systemd/system/ctrl-alt-del.target pointing to
/lib/systemd/system/poweroff.target.

# ln -s /lib/systemd/system/poweroff.target /etc/systemd/system/ctrl-alt-del.target

However: if you then keep Ctrl-Alt-Del pressed for a second, the
machine still reboots.
That way, you could use Ctrl-Alt-Del for both poweroff and reboot.
