What does `sudo poweroff` do? Last messages on screen etc?

That's in the ldm sources, you'd need to recompile it:
$ grep poweroff ldm-trunk/gtkgreet/greeter.c
  G_CALLBACK(spawn_command), "/sbin/poweroff");

Or you could make a /usr/share/ltsp/init-ltsp.d/50-poweroff wrapper,
that moves poweroff to poweroff.original, and creates a shell file in
/sbin/poweroff that calls poweroff -fp. But it'd be better to find a
proper solution if "normal" shutdown doesn't work for you, so that
nbd-server connections are closed, swap files on the server are cleaned
up etc.
