Looking at the IRC log

lines 197 to 280 reveals the plan.
Conclusion: quoting vorlon Steve Langasek: we recommend/support
systemd being the default init system for upgrades as well as new
installs
Action point: quoting dondelelcaro Don Armstrong:
#action dondelelcaro to draft affirmative resolution on #762194 noting
#757298 et al
I think the key point is:
18:50:04 dondelelcaro so for this bug, I'm happier that we actually have
concrete proposals, though I don't think any of them have had enough testing
18:50:29 ansgar I think two had issues with installing sysvinit in some
cases.
18:50:39 ansgar And the last one just arrived ~2 hours ago.
18:51:57 ansgar First proposal in 762194#124, I tested it in #142
which shows confusion as to whether the proposal works. The idea is to move
the piece responsible for defaulting to systemd from pkg:init to
pkg:debootstrap -- and a move consists of two changes: removing in place A
then adding in place B. What ansgar tested in #142 is removing only, with
obvious results. I did try to dispel this confusion but this apparently
hasn't been noticed.
More details: (if using apt, see also #757298 about the grub2 entry)
- upgrading from Wheezy/with sysvinit to Jessie can boot with
init=/lib/sysvinit/init unless/until the sysvinit package is removed by
e.g. autoclean.
[...]
I wonder what the people not having physical access, e.g. ssh, to their
boxes should do, not even able the see the boot screen?
They'll have a nice drive to the data center... or, for embedded systems,
some extra fun of wildly varying kinds.
