There is always a potential for problems.

However, if there are no actual problems, then there's no effective
difference between having systemd-sysv installed at some point in the
installation and then replacing it with sysvinit-core. If you find
actual problems, please file the bugs.

If you're really that concerned about this issue, it's also not that
difficult to roll your own version of d-i which contains the fix for
#668001, and use the --include/exclude options to debootstrap to fix it.

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing
that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to
get at or repair.
