On Wheezy udev placed removable devices in group 'floppy', which is one of the default group assignments created by d-i for the first user. On Jessie udev puts removable devices in group 'disk', As you imply, no user should ever a member of the 'disk' group. It should be noted the change is completely independent of which init system is used.
