I was unable to reproduce this with the current sysvinit package in
jessie (2.88dsf-57).
What I did:
* installed wheezy in a VM
* altered /etc/apt/sources.list adding jessie URLs
* apt-get update
* apt-get install apt dpkg locales
* apt dist-upgrade
* reboot
At this point the system was running with systemd.
* apt install sysvinit-core
(nothing odd here, installation went normally)
* reboot
At this point the system was running with sysvinit.
Sorry for not providing logs from the susvinit-core installation,
I was unable to get the serial console of the VM to work.
HTH,
dam
