Moving /tmp to a separate partition. Advice?

[Klistvud <quotations@aliceadsl.fr>]

Howdy, fellow Debianites!
Given some extra hard drive space, I decided to move my /tmp dir  
(currently located under / ) to a partition of its own. I am looking  
forward to any advice, particularly of the been-there-done-that type:
* how should I configure my fstab entry? How does Debian installer do  
it?
* is there anything Debian-specific to watch for?
* is it true that setting /tmp permissions to non-executable, while  
hardening your box, prevents apt from working properly?
