My experience with systemd is limited, but so far (Wheezy) everything
"just worked". I haven't been using it long enough to consider employing
it in production environments - but Jessie is a long way from stable so
I'm not overly concerned, just mildly curious. So far I'm impressed with
the increased configurability, and especially, the faster boot-times
(SLA goodness!).
Make the script S12whatever and then install systemd(?)
# apt-get install systemd systemd-sysv;reboot

Do "man system" and "man systemd.conf" not suffice?
I don't know where I'd find 'just' the answer to just that question if
the context was systemv.... so I expect some additional reading could be
required.
If the man pages don't answer the question perhaps a bug report would be
in order. Additionally you could look at:-
http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html
https://wiki.debian.org/systemd (which is a good place to add anything
you find lacking)
I found those using a search engine, but I didn't look very hard
(because they answered my questions).

Those "fears" have been considered, debated, and discussed ad-infinitum
by Debian Technical and Debian developers - and those scenarios, and
others, have been taken into account.
The enemy of fear (and faith) is knowledge ;)
If you are running Jessie on production servers systemd is the least of
your problems (IMNSHO). :)
I've mostly tested systemd on servers, the only DE I've used it on was LXDE.
Upstep? DYM upstart??
Isn't upstart an Ubuntu thing?
Kind regards
