I wouldn't want to leave it in that state.
Probably the most reliable way to fix it would be to apt-get --reinstall
every package. Maybe like this:
apt-get --reinstall install `dpkg --get-selections | awk '{print $1}'`
A less bandwidth-wasteful way of doing it would be to figure out which
packages had files in /bin and only reinstall those. You can find this
out by looking at the *.list files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/
Cheers,
Paul.
