Two points:

1. DDB is too functional.  I wish doing only halt the system and any
   other DDB commands are unnecessary or superfluous.

2. Doing "ctrl+alt+del" person don't know DDB commands, and also don't
   understand extra help messages of DDB.

There is a case, the person couldn't be expected to type any command.
So, there is a situation that simple key sequence without any extra
key typing.
