#679409 is not a sysvinit bug; this has been moved to lightdm.
#672959 has been fixed thanks to the effors of the kfreebsd porters,
with fixed packages being here:
http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/sysvinit/sysvinit_2.88dsf-33.dsc
(also fixed in git)
sysvinit 2.88dsf-32 is just coming up to being 10 days old. I can
upload the -33 with the above fix now, or wait until -32 has
migrated, depending upon what you want.
I also have a couple of patches which add update-rc.d/invoke-rc.d
support for systemd, which are currently queued here:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/sysvinit;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/jessie-pending
Having update-rc.d and invoke-rc.d support systemd in addition to
sysvinit and upstart is quite important for systemd integration with
Debian. If the release team could give the go-ahead, I can pull
these into -33 (or -34).
Thanks,
Roger
