He did. it was the epitomy of "due dilligence". It is clear from the portion of
the paragraph you snipped that he was talking about systemd:

An upgrade from Wheezy to Jessie will, by default, install systemd-sysv
and a new sysvinit package. /lib/sysvinit/init is in the sysvinit
package. In the very unlikely event the system will not boot after the
upgrade /lib/sysvinit/init can be used instead of /sbin/init.

You didn't accept an upgrade to the new default init system. But you
accepted the new sysvinit package.
