To me it looks like there is broad consensus that a separate /usr
partition should be considered deprecated and this option removed from
the installer.

If that means dropping the multi-partition option altogether or just
removing /usr from the "atomic" partman-auto recipe is something I'd
leave up to the d-i team to decide. Personally I'd be fine with either
solution.
