Not to forget /bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin : https://wiki.debian.org/FilesystemHierarchyStandard /bin is specified to hold "essential" programs. /sbin is its add-on for system administrators. /usr/bin + /usr/sbin together hold nearly 4000 files on my system.

I'm going to do the extra legwork here. Here is a list of 163 files which are in standard priority packages and with "bin/" in their path:

Remember the discussion about why Debian doesn't have a default firewall policy, because everyone needs something different?

A boot loader is optional because it might be supplied by an outside system, like a VM hypervisor. -dsr-
