Unfortunately (for the moment) you will need to enable 3rd-party repos
to build a fully-functional system with a (xfxe4) DE:

deb http://angband.pl/debian/ nosystemd main
deb http://exegnulinux.net/nosystemd/ jessie main

The sooner that is no longer necessary the better.

You will also need to (immediately after debootstrap in a chroot):

cat << EOF > /etc/apt/preferences.d/01systemd

Package: *systemd*
Pin: origin ""
Pin-Priority: -1

EOF

cat << EOF > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01norecommends

APT::Install-Recommends "0";
APT::Install-Suggests "0";

EOF

else when you run apt-get in the chroot *systemd* *will* get it's claws
in. The "recommends" only will make sure (xfce at least).

I have tested this multiple times in recent days.

Without that you may not be able to shutdown, reboot, suspend, handle
removables...
