 You can upgrade safely, systemd will not replace already installed sysv*.
 (yet?)

You must've missed the recent thread about systemd-sysv being pulled
in by certain dependencies and replacing sysvinit with systemd.

What was the name of this thread?

Must be some desktop related packages, my few headless systems still 
have only sysv stuff?

Hi...OP here...

Does anyone have any suggestions on the original problem with video on the
Intel drivers on this Dell laptop?

Thanks,

Intel video is normally working out of the box, but for newer
hardware you also need up to date software.

So if you are on 7.5, try upgrading Jessie.

For example, I couldn't get 3d accelleration working on the integrated
adapter of my i5-4570S on Debian 7.3, and upgrading to testing
solved it.

You can check if it's the same problem with:
$ glxinfo | grep renderer

If there is something with LLVM in the output, it's not working and
falling back to software emulation. While you're at it, you can also
try glxgears.

I apologize, I thought I had specified, the machine in question is running
a relatively recent version of sid. I have not been upgrading as much until
some of this chaos with systemd settles down.

Thus I am running

xserver-xorg-video-intel  2:2.21.15-1+b2
amd64



 For example, I couldn't get 3d accelleration working on the integrated
 adapter of my i5-4570S on Debian 7.3, and upgrading to testing
 solved it.

 You can check if it's the same problem with:
 $ glxinfo | grep renderer


The output of this is:

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Mobile


 If there is something with LLVM in the output, it's not working and
 falling back to software emulation. While you're at it, you can also
 try glxgears.


 glxgears gave me:

Running synchronized to the vertical refresh.  The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
Xlib:  extension NV-GLX missing on display :0.
334 frames in 5.1 seconds = 65.750 FPS
320 frames in 5.3 seconds = 60.041 FPS
320 frames in 5.3 seconds = 60.041 FPS
320 frames in 5.3 seconds = 60.044 FPS
320 frames in 5.3 seconds = 60.038 FPS

l...and the display was a little choppy. Also the Xlib error appears in
both the glxgears and the glxinfo...It's looking for NV-GLX? I don't have
an xorg.conf on this machine...
