Probably a bit of both ;-) The poweroff implementation has changed in
kernel 4.19 (commit dd129c6374) and requires that the kernel is built
with CONFIG_POWER_RESET_PIIX4_POWEROFF=y to work.
I have pushed the fix to the Debian kernel repository. However I am not
sure it will be fixed for Debian 10.3, maybe it will only appear in
Debian 10.4.
