Jessie was the first Debian version to use systemd by default as
the init. Perhaps, something was installed as a systemd dependency
that wouldn't have been installed with the new Beowulf computer
under sysvinit that carried forward with a dist-upgrade of Jessie to
Beowulf. Or you installed something on the old system that wasn't
installed on the new one, and that is doing the automounting.
Historical note.
And the first Devuan release was called Jessie because it was almost
identical to the Debian release with the same name -- it differed
primarily in that it did not use systemd as an init. This was the
last Debian relese that had no problems running without systemd.
I run Debian Stretch with sysvinit without problems even though some
systemd libraries and udev-systemd remained after converting to
sysvinit. Even updates-upgrades don't result in systemd-init being
reinstalled like with Buster.

I ran Debian from Bo through Stretch. I had no real problems upgrading
through the releases until I got to Buster. Then I hit a wall. It MAY
be possible to run a very minimal system (with no chance of running X)
and still avoid systemd. While I have been told that this is the case,
I have no personal evidence of this.
That is what caused me to switch to Devuan.
