Did you do that in that order? in straight debian, I would "update",
"upgrade", then "dist-upgrade". I rarely do autoclean, but that's not
a bad ideal. If you don't need many locales, you may want the
localepurge package to purge non-used locale files from your system.

That's an astounding amount of stuff!

halt's behaviour seems to have changed. It used to go to a poweroff
state, but now seems to go to everything is stopped but not powered
down.

There are some other commands worth looking at:

poweroff
reboot
shutdown

Depending on the arguments one feeds shutdown, it can power off, halt
or reboot the system. But they're legacy commands for
compatibility. Looks like systemctl is doing the actual work. This is
for a systemd configured Debian, so that may not apply to your
Raspbian.

Scroll down for the poweroff/reboot/shutdown majik:
