I can not confirm that apt in exactly that configuration does override
the pinning preferences, just tested again on my Jessie laptop:

root@nullmobil:~# cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/avoid-systemd
Package: systemd-sysv
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -1

root@nullmobil:~# apt install systemd-sysv
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package systemd-sysv is not available, but is referred to by another
package.

and "jessie-updates" from de.mirror.devuan.org/merged/
