If you do a normal dist-upgrade Wheezy to Jessie, sysvinit will be
replaced with systemd. And probably screw everything up.. I suggest
you do what I did: a clean install of a terminal only Jessie system,
replace systemd with sysvinit, then build the system up from there.
Just remember GNOME3 has systemd as a dependency. Other utilities do,
too. I used LXDE which doesn't to keep things simple. I usually just
run a window manager Openbox and a single LXPanel, but that involves a
lot more configuration. Too much for an initial test.
These links may help:

https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/117634-gnu-linux-debian-without-systemd
There's a Debian wiki to replace systemd, but I couldn't find it this
time. It was what I used initially for my test install of Jessie in
Virtualbox.
