I can't really see the rationale for putting / and /usr on separate partitions.

Swap would go on a different partition because it does not use the same file 
system.

I like to put /home on a separate partition, and don't like the idea of 
/usr/home.

I also don't like to put /var and /tmp on separate partitions: problems with 
size and fitting the disk space.

Putting /home on a separate partition allows the whole system to be upgraded, 
even newfs and reinstall, without touching user data.
