Small addendum:
I yesterday tested your (Ben) addition in the build string for building a _guest_ system with Debian 9 (Stretch) with
--include=sysvinit-core,lsb-release --exclude=systemd
and it worded fine! :-)
It doesn't work building a _guest_ system with Debian 8 (Jessie).
Therefore, the proposal for a right addition to the build string on http://linux-vserver.org/Installation_on_Debian (section "Jessie")
--include=sysvinit-core,sysvinit,sysvinit-utils --exclude=systemd
will get you to a working (jessie) _guest_ system.
THX again. And so far [ SOLVED ] for me.
