That would probably require changes in d-i to ensure that
systemd is, indeed, installed by default on fresh installs,
but otherwise has the most chance of keeping existing systems
running properly, so I think that this change is fair, yes.

Are there any upgrade paths where software existing in wheezy
requires systemd in jessie? If so, these are corner cases where
switching init may or may not be avoidable; if not, present a
debconf message here. But the vast majority probably should not
(need to; even GNOME can work with the shim) switch, yes.

I think this is not fair, though. CTTE decided that systemd be
the default init system for Linux in jessie “period”. That means
no debconf message required here.
Do note that new installs of kFreeBSD and Hurd should not get
systemd, but what exactly is probably up to the porters for lack
of a CTTE decision in that.
