IIRC, years ago it was suggested that Debian was going to jump to
upstart¹ as the default booting mechanism but then systemd started to
gain more popularity as a replacement for system v.
With my admin's hat on, I prefer the old and well-know sysvinit because I
don't need anything special for the booting process but I understand that
people with specific requirements (or those called "early adopters") are
awaiting for a change.
That said, I'm completetely unaware about the current status for upstart/
systemd in Debian, but according to the above mailing list/announce post
and the wiki², both systems should be already available and operative.
