With v215 from sid, the problem is still there, boot excerpt:

Last boot trial did not succeed after ~ 5hrs, so I opted to a quick
reinstall, this time without systemd but with sysv 2.88dsf-41+deb7u1.

Boot times are normal both ways, i.e. the ordering of console in
grub's kernel command line does not change boot speeds with sysvinit.

Does this help a bit?

Cheers
