By my count there are 1712 binary packages from X source packages
installing things outside /etc /usr /var

$ apt-file search --regexp '^/[^euv]' | sed 's/: .*//' | sort -u | wc -l
1712

Many of those are systemd unit files and updating systemd and
debhelper and then rebuilding all of the packages containing systemd
unit files will presumably solve a fair amount of packages.

$ apt-file search --regexp '^/[^euv]' | grep /lib/systemd | sed 's/:
.*//' | sort -u | wc -l
1121

After eliminating systemd unit files, the problem looks less imposing:

$ apt-file search --regexp '^/[^euv]' | grep -v /lib/systemd | sed
's/: .*//' | sort -u | wc -l
733
