There are work-arounds for dist-upgrading to Jessie without installing

systemd in its entirety as the init.
There is a simple mechanism, described in the draft Release Notes for
Debian jessie, which can be used to guarantee that APT will not attempt
to install the package "systemd-sysv" (which makes systemd be the system
initialization and service supervision daemon) when upgrading from
wheezy (or at any subsequent point unless and until you, by deliberate
action, remove the pin):

Having taken this step, there is then no need for you to be personally
"on guard" against having your init system changed to systemd, as your
computer will be faithfully "on guard" on your behalf.
