Did you maybe pin systemd-sysv to make sure it didn't get installed?
Check /etc/apt/preferences & /etc/apt/preferences.d or the output of
"apt-cache policy systemd-sysv".

If you try systemd, you might want to make sure that "sysvinit" is
installed. This should provide an entry in grub's boot menu to start
with sysvinit in case anything goes wrong; with other bootloaders one
can pass init=/lib/sysvinit/init to do so.

Though it would surprise me a bit if this affects X in Jessie.
