I have used parted just recently to expand my /usr partition at the
expense of /tmp, which was right next to it.
Better yet, you could easily create another mount point. For e.g., if
your /usr/doc folder was the really big one, and you had spare space,
create a mount point for /usr/doc, perhaps calling it
/usr/doc/newbigpartition.
Then move the files over from /usr/doc, and change /usr/doc to be a
symlink (hard links won't work across partitions) to
/usr/doc/newbigpartition.
Reinstalling Debian is rather serious and unnecessary.
And yes, there are plenty of ways of getting around the problem when
your partiton needs more space.
