Well, read the transition plan I referenced in my other reply.

The point is, that we want different behaviour depending on whether you
upgrade or do a fresh installation.

The sysvinit package in jessie won't be Essential: yes / Priority:
required anymore (upload for that is pending).

It will become an (optional) transitional package with the only purpose
being to ensure a smooth upgrade and providing a safety net.

Hope that clears things up.
