   Is there a specific reason for this?

yes, systemd inside debian 8 is very old, and many users had problems in the
past.
Not sure if that is still the case.

On a completely updated Debian 8 container on PVE 3.4 (started from Debian 7 and dist-upgraded to 8), systemd is version 215. According to https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases?after=v220 this version is of July 3, 2014. I assume this /is/ considered old :-). On the other hand I haven't experienced any problems so far.

On https://wiki.debian.org/systemd it says "Please make sure that you are using Debian jessie or newer to get a recent version of systemd.". Hmm, "recent"...? ;-)

But not including systemd makes the task of streamlining an IT environment harder. If you try to keep bare metal and virtual hosts on the same distro and release (Debian 8), one can still not use the same mechanisms and settings everywhere (systemd on metal, SysV init in containers). Switching to systemd once a system has been installed as SysV init system hasn't worked for me (yet).
