I've built it, but am still contemplating whether to install it or not.

Just a guess.. When you tried this you were still running the old init,
right? You probably need to shut it down with the old shutdown command
and then when your system comes back up with the new init, you can use
the new shutdown. But this is only a guess. I haven't tried it yet.
