Even with a full /, /usr and /var you can log in to a Debian system IIRC. Partitioning your data across disks is important, but IMHO partitioning a single disk is useless. Enforcing quota by splitting a disk in two, with all the seek time it wastes, is an unreasonably expensive way to do it. If your server has only a single disk, I say don't bother with partitions other than swap. Having different filesystems with different properties can be immensely useful, but then you should use multiple disks.
