I've seen a similar situation but with /usr/bin and used locate to find missing files and dpkg -S to found the packages I needed to reinstall.

It was pretty straightforward, but I could use some scripting since /bin was still there.

Anyway I thought that the locate + dpkg -S trick was worth mentioning since it could save you from reinstalling lot of packages...
