TL;DR `sudo apt-get install systemd-shim` You are mistaken, it is not. What I suspect happened is that something depended on logind (libpam-systemd) and libpam-systemd depends on "systemd-sysv | systemd-shim". This means that systems will have their init system switched even if unneeded unless they predict the issue or track down the dependency tree, then learn they have to install systemd-shim (which does not exist on Wheezy, so you will have to install systemd-sysv then another init after the upgrade). This bug has been reported and marked as WONTFIX for reasons that have not been fully explained (it is claimed people with init=/lib/systemd/systemd in their kcmdline will experience breakage due to systemd-shim conflicting with systemd-sysv, however this is actually not likely at all according to the shim maintainer).
