While Wheezy has systemd packages and it somewhat works, but also had lots of
issues in my testing with really systemd packages, its optional.
So as long as you do not install it, you will have sysvinit just as with
Squeeze. So systemd is not a reason to delay an update from Squeeze to Wheezy.
Its Jessie/Sid that are under some circumstances difficult to use without
systemd. As to my current knowledge one of the circumstances is an installed
GNOME desktop.
