Hi!

Or you might want to jump ships and upgrade to devuan - which by the way works flawless with these repositories added:

deb http://packages.devuan.org/merged jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://exegnulinux.net/nosystemd jessie main
deb http://angband.pl/debian/ nosystemd main

even CUPS without systemd ... and no chance to trash your (U)EFI hardware ( https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=UEFI-rm-root-directory ) :-)
