In that case we are missing documentation for the shutdown/halt procedure more than ever.
Very often halt.local is where we'd do stuff like powering off UPS outlets, to handle power-outage scenarios properly. It may not have been documented or placed ideally, but AFAIKT, it's actually always worked. Without the halt-local.service, we're missing that easy hook, as I see it.

The nut package for one, does not include a systemd unit that can do the
exact same thing, and to my experience, figuring out exactly which
depencencies to create for a new unit tile to accomplish the same
without breaking something else, is really not that well documented, or
just not very easy to find.

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

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

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
