OK. Hints:
I don't use /opt, so I'd dump that. You may not want to.
/var is good. / is good. swap is good.
I'd be inclined to make /usr bigger. Bear in mind that with debian,
you're using the package manager to install lots of stuff in /usr, so you
want a big /usr. 300 is nice. 500 will be roomy.
/home and /usr/local are entirely up to how you plan to use the machine.
Most compile-it-yourself programs are inclined to install into /usr/local.
