Hmmm I can't seem to find it documented anywhere, but last time I needed
this to work was in the good old sysvinit days and it may have even been
on a different distro. Sorry for not brushing thoroughly up on this,
prior to filing this bug.

I have checked with CentOS 7 and it has the halt.local placed in
/usr/sbin/halt.local as well

In any case, this is part of the rc-local type magic that systemd
performs and with rc.local in /etc/rc.local, one could argue, that it
makes sense for these scripts to be located together.

But more importantly, user-maintained stuff in /usr/sbin/ is just bad
practice and we should not encourage people to do that.

Title:
  /etc/halt.local has become /usr/sbin/halt.local

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 15.10, amd64
  systemd-225-1ubuntu9

  /etc/halt.local seems to have moved to /usr/sbin/halt.local which IMO
  is bad for a couple of reasons.

  1) This is not where it's supposed to be
  2) Locally modified (non-dpkg managed) scripts under /usr is bad

  I have not been able to find anywhere documenting this as a decided
  change, so it seems like a bug to me.

  Please let me know if you need more info from me
