Bug#686143: debian-policy: FHS requirements on "essential" binaries cannot be well defined at distro level

[Zachary Harris <zacharyharris@hotmail.com>]

  Under #652011, presumably with reference to my proposed addition to
policy here, Russ Allbery <rra@debian.org> wrote:

  Where? If policy is already clear on this, then this bug should be
closed rather than wishlisted. On the other hand, if policy is not clear
on this, then it should be made clear, and this present bug is more than
wishlist until that is done.
  I don't think this proposal has to be a highly debated controversy.
I'm just proposing to document the status quo. The question of whether
or not there will be motivation to change the status quo in the future
can be left entirely open, but in the mean time it should be universally
agreeable to have the status quo clearly documented. And it only
requires a couple sentences in the right place in policy for that to be
accomplished.
