My opinion would be for /system/distribution, /system/local, and
/home. But, ouch, /system/distribution is essentially the
present /usr! (While /system/local subsumes the current
/usr/local, which isn't used that much, anyway, and /etc and
/var.)
The motivation is that it's much more important to backup
/system/local (/etc, /var) than /system/distribution (/usr.)
As for dpkg(8), we could have both /var/lib/dpkg/packages (with
Package:, Version:, and everything modifiable) /and/
/usr/lib/dpkg/packages.d (with the full descriptions.)
I'd argue that /boot is to be left in place, for I like to think
of bootloader as /not/ belonging to any particular system
installed on box.
