      I have a perhaps related issue with my Debian(jessipe)  In the evening
      before going to bed I run    sudo shutdown -h now  .  After entering
      my password, the screen goes immediately dark.  Except sometimes there
      is a flickering in the upper left, and the light on the box itself still
      glows.  It sometimes takes up to a couple of minutes before the machine
      actually shuts down and turns itself off.   Other times it shuts down
      immediately.

Of course this behavior is not a problem.  But maybe some clever Debianists
here can explain what's going on, to gratify my idle curiosity<G>.

Best wishes,
