Would it not be better to have the package's config script check for the existence of evidence of a previous installation of sysvinit? i.e. does /etc/default/rcS exist on a clean jessie install? If not, then the config script could check for that file, and only present the warning/question about a change of init system if the file exists (which would not be the case for a new install).
