Yes. WIth only 1 GB for linux I wouldn't setup extra partitions for /, /usr, /var, etc. Maybe a small swap partion (64 MB suffices in general). A complicated partition scheme could be useful for servers, but for a laptop it will cause more trouble than it's worth IMHO. It's just very annoying to run out of diskspace because of a complicated and thus inflexible partition scheme. But if you really want to do that, ask someone with debian installed on a total of 1 gb to post his du -s of /usr, /var, /tmp, / and other possible mountpoints together with his/her df output.
