FWIW jessie hasn't forced me to install systemd-sysv yet.
I *did* have to install these systemd components:

  udev was pulled in by initramfs-tools & Xorg.
  libsystemd-id128-0 was pulled in by festival.
  libsystemd-journal0 and libsystemd-login0 were pulled in by dbus.

At a glance, it looks like KDE and the various display managers
(e.g. gdm3) force you to install systemd-sysv right now, and the XFCE
and GNOME session managers Recommend it (i.e. opt out).  Also a few
other bits like upower, udisks2 and gnome-bluetooth.

There is "aptitude why", or from within the aptitude UI you can tap "i"
a couple of times until the bottom pane shows similar output, e.g. for
gnome-bluetooth I see:

  i   twb-desktop        Recommends xinit
  i A xinit              Recommends xterm | x-session-manager | 
x-window-manager | x-terminal-emulator
  p   cinnamon           Provides   x-window-manager
  p   cinnamon           Recommends cinnamon-bluetooth
  p   cinnamon-bluetooth Depends    gnome-bluetooth
