Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
It would be useful to present the user a shutdown (poweroff) option at the end of a successful installation, in addition to the restart option that's already there.
The use case I have in mind is for OEMs, who will install to a disk, shut down the machine, then create an image of the disk to be cloned and used in other machines. In this case it's best if we have a clean shutdown rather than (for example) require the person installing to try to kill power to the machine during the restart (a partial restart can result in grub starting to load the OS before power is killed, which in turn results in grub displaying the boot menu on all machines cloned from the image).
d-i has a preseed option for this, 'debian-
ubiquity version is 2.4.8 from 10.10
