I have similar problems with systemd when I try to shutdown or reboot; the

Will this work for an i386 machine, as well? I did try installing Devuan, but
without success (as it seems the process used by their installation disc
wants to overwrite my home folder); I also gave exegnulinux, but that also
was unsatisfactory.
My current system is Debian Jessie, and runs pretty much like I want, except
for some minor bugs. My biggest complaint is systemd, and I really want to go
back to using sysvinit.
Also: I wonder if it is possible to switch to Devuan without doing a complete
reinstallation? i.e., after changing over to sysvinit, can I enable Devuan
repositories (and disable Debian), then do something like
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
or whatever?

The process is triggered by one of the many
raceconditions introduced in
systemd. If you can, get rid of systemd, install devuan or exegnulinux or
antix or ....
no need to do so. just install
ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-59.9
all System-V-like runlevel change mechanism
ii sysvinit-core 2.88dsf-59.9
amd64 System-V-like init utilities
ii sysvinit-utils 2.88dsf-59.9
amd64 System-V-like utilities
trash systemd-sysv and reboot
if you keep systemd-sysv add in /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT ..... init=/lib/sysvinit/init
and update-initramfs
but it could be also a disk issue or unclean fs - probably you don't use
ext4 and/or root is setup to remount ro on error
boot from rescue and fsck
