The posts I've made were made because the issues I struck after
installing systemd-sysv could happen to others in the future and whether
it is a "teething bug" or an issue with systemd configuration at least
there is a mention of it in the archives.
Also, it is probably a good idea to get any concerns "out in the open"
*before* Jessie becomes stable. There may be an issue that has been
overlooked. e.g. for me the keyboard repeat rate slowed right down, and
when I ggogled it I found that others have found that their's sped up. I
have to use the kbdrate command to fix it.
There are some differences between the way Debian has adopted systemd
and the way upstream documents it, so it I think if there are any
concerns about this then it is a good idea to raise the issue here.
