Yes.
WIth only 1 GB for linux I wouldn't setup extra partitions for /, /usr,
/var, etc. Maybe a small swap partion (64 MB suffices in general). A
complicated partition scheme could be useful for servers, but for a laptop
it will cause more trouble than it's worth IMHO.
It's just very annoying to run out of diskspace because of a complicated
and thus inflexible partition scheme.
But if you really want to do that, ask someone with debian installed on
a total of 1 gb to post his du -s of /usr, /var, /tmp, / and other
possible mountpoints together with his/her df output.
