Dear Maintainer,
     Debian wheezy didn't shut down, when I shut it down. It got stuck in some dhcprelease process. I had to use hard reset to shut it down. I have seen this problem more than once. I have attached a screenshot. Please see, if it is a know issue.

Thanks,
Amandeep

I would tend to think that it's the responsibility of the
/etc/init.d/networking script to make sure it doesn't hang. Should this
be reassigned to ifupdown so they get a chance to look at it?
