Both systemd and upstart contain compat layers for LSB init-scripts, so there is no need to switch *everything* immediately. There can be a slow migration. And in case of systemd, many upstreams already ship systemd services, which work on Debian without further modifications. So, I think some partial migration would be possible for Jessie, and a "full" migration could be planned for Jessie+1. Cheers, Matthias
