Which FAI version are you using?

Mmm, here you include sysvinit and remove systemd from the base
file. But you wanted no sysv. So, why do you include it here?
I would expect, that your Debian installation then also do not
use systemd but sysvinit, because those package are then inside the
base.tar.xz file, which is also used for the client installation.

In the default examples of FAI, we do not specify any of the sysvinit or
systemd packages in package_config/*. So the installation of a client
will use the default package selection of Debian 8, IIRC that's
systemd.

This is different from the nfsroot, where we still install
sysvinit-core but remove systemd-sysv. But this is not related to the
OS you instal on the client.
