* Added manual page for readbootlog program. Updated bootlogd page
to reference it. Closes Debian bug #725123.
* Updated the shutdown manual page to try to make it more clear
where we are talking about an initscript called halt or the halt
program. Likewise whether we are talking about the shutdown process
or the specific shutdown program.

.SH HALT OR POWEROFF
The \fB-H\fP option just sets the \fIinit\fP environment variable
\fIINIT_HALT\fP to \fIHALT\fP, and the \fB-P\fP option just sets
that variable to \fIPOWEROFF\fP. The shutdown script that calls
\fBhalt\fP(8) as the last thing in the shutdown sequence should
check these environment variables and call \fBhalt\fP(8) with
that variable to \fIPOWEROFF\fP. The script (usually /etc/init.d/halt) that calls
the \fBhalt\fP(8) program as the last thing in the shutting down sequence should
check this environment variable and call the \fBhalt\fP(8) program with
the right options for these options to actually have any effect.
Debian 3.1 (sarge) supports this.
