Depending on your needs, installing systemd might be mandatory in unstable already (e.g. gdm3 indirectly depends on it), but you do _not_ have to install systemd-sysv and thus make it the default init system. > I have servers running Jessie.

Why would installing systemd remove half of your system, and why do you expect that your servers will not boot with systemd as init?
