The lack of a separate /home is because all of our home directories are NFS-mounted from the "home" server.
Having read the rest of the thread, I'd suggest for a "base" VM (i.e., do a Debian base install plus ssh/sshd) in:
/ 2GB /boot 256MB /var 2GB /home 512MB /tmp 512MB swap 512MBI'm never sure how to really handle swap in a VM. It's hard as hell on the VM and the host, and if you really can get away without using swap, I'd suggest doing it. Have a little there, just as slush. We try to run our VMs as lean as possible (256MB RAM allocated) unless the app hosted requires a good amount of memory.
I tend to keep /home small so that you can copy something over if you need to, but it won't suck up a lot of space. I like separate filesystems on VMs primarily as a segregation tool to keep things in one area from clogging up something else.
VMs are cool, because you can run whatever in them, but it sometimes feels like quite a bit of waste.
