Comparing those source packages is just comparing the previous essential sysvinit package against udev. If you want a better picture you should look at systemd-sysv versus sysvinit-core: 2335 systemd-sysv 19845 14413 925 4504 3 (Debian Systemd Maintainers) 4623 sysvinit-core 5634 4866 576 191 1 (Debian Sysvinit Maintainers) Sysvinit-core was introduced in jessie and systemd-sysv conflicts with sysvinit-core. Systemd-sysv is also available in wheezy, but there are 24486 reports from the popcon version 1.61 (testing/unstable) which means only about 1000 of the systemd-sysv installs seem to be from wheezy. So a big majority of the testing/unstable users don't seem to have a problem with systemd, just like a majority of the DDs don't have a problem with systemd or else we would already have had a GR. It would be nice if the minority which doesn't like systemd would just accept that systemd is the default init system in jessie and that the majority of developers and users don't seem to have any problem with that.
