That's great.

How long is 'a great time'? Can you make a picture of how the console 
output is wrong?

Currently the answer to this question probably depends strongly on who 
you ask. This will hopefully change soon, when the technical committee 
has made it's decision. [1]
If you don't feel curious about modern init systems, it is possible to 
stay with sysvinit for jessie.
But since GNOME upstream decided to use features provided by systemd 
that only afterwards were available on other init systems via 
systemd-shim, you might want to try out systemd-sysv, as similiar 
upstream changes might happen again. (And a modern init system is an 
improvement over the old sysvinit.)
I hope that helps you.

Best regards,
Andreas
