Package: installation-reports
Severity: important
Tags: d-i
When installing debian, I chose the automatic (guided?) option to partition the
disk. I only had one 8GB disk. It created separate partitions for the given
set of file systems. After I had booted into the installed system, I tried to
install some additional software. I got a pop-up telling me my /usr file
system was out of space.
I had not looked at the allocations for /usr and other partitions before
setting out to install more software; perhaps this would have been a good idea.
Still, I think that /usr needs to be one of the more generously-allocated file
systems in any Linux system. When I create a new Linux system -- that is, when
I am in the mood to create separate partitions for /usr, /home, /var, etc -- I
usually give /usr a good 6GB or so these days because I know that these systems
can grow large, especially after customizing them to the user's liking.
I was anxious to try out Debian. I had tried 5.0.8 some time back (also under
VirtualBox) but had problems with it running in a VM. Rather than do this
exercise twice, or actually allocate the partitions manually, I got lazy and
went with a single file system.
This configuration works fine. However, if it will help your project, I can
set up a test to more thoroughly investigate this and report the results to
you.

I'm sorry that nobody responded to the bug report you filed in 2012.
Debian no longer creates a separate /usr partition for reasons
described in bug #652275
Since this bug no longer applies, I'm closing the bug report.
It was fixed here:
partman-auto (123) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Ben Hutchings ]
* Combine / and /usr partitions in 'multi' recipes. Closes: #652275
