If you need to use a binary that's not in an Essential: yes package, but is in /bin, you can Depend: upon that package, then use it. /sbin/ifconfig from net-tools, or /bin/ip from iproute for example. The "required" priority is meant to be "essential + dependencies", but isn't quite, for reference.
