As far as I know, a dist-upgrade *never* removes packages. Especially not
packages it doesn't even know about (eg: if they're not part of Devuan
Jessie).

What packages have you found in Debian Jessie which have no systemd
dependencies and are not in Devuan Jessie?

Create a copy in a VM and try it :)

Install a minimal Debian Wheezy, add some of your possibly problematic
packages, and try the upgrade :)
