Of course, one could drop that to two years if you made the dpkg change a

treat all files shipped to /{bin,sbin,lib} as actually being shipped to
/usr/{bin,sbin,lib}, and create symlinks accordingly. But that raises an
important question.
This might be doable with diversions, but probably only for a closed set of names. The Essential set is closed, but I'd suspect that there are quite a few datacenter deployments (and deployment tools) that add custom packages to debootstrap.
