I think that Ethan is a bit generalizing this time. OK reiserfs might not be
the best choice, ext3 is not here yet.. But there is also XFS and i think
that it's 10 years or so of developement should be taken under consideration
(i don't know how long it's been developed i just remeber some saying
something about 10 years). XFS 1.0 is out there and it integrates and
compiles cleanly (at least with APUS tree which is somewhat based on BK i
think). All the tools are there and since 1.2.5 work on PPC too. Just give
it a try =o)) Patching kernel source with XFS is not hard =o)
Right now i'm using both XFS and reiserfs (each on partition around 7g) i
had one crash so far and was really amazed (fscking these partitions under
ext2 always took ages.. my Amiga has only PIO-0 mode IDE interface...)

spliting up partitions is always best thing... regardles of filesystem in
use..

i would split /usr/src (if ones is planning lots of (re)compilation)
as for making apt to remount rw before and ro after upgrading put this
DPkg::Pre-Invoke {"mount -o remount,rw /usr";};
DPkg::Post-Invoke {"mount -o remount,ro /usr";};
DPkg::RunDirectory "/";
in /etc/apt/apt.conf or put it in some file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
