I haven't messed around with partitioning since the early days of

You just multiplied my curiosity about what exactly was responsible for your
current partitioning
scheme, not to mention what will be used for your planned reinstallation.
The installer for Debian Stretch has an new option thzt thought I'd
try.: separate /home, /var and/temp partitions.
Over the last 50+ years as Research Scientist I have tried to follow
the policy that it's all right to make mistakes.. As long as you try
not to make the same mistake in the same contiguous four hours - that is
if you make a mistake in the morning, wait until that afternoon to
repeat it. But even more important from the mistake and try not to
repeat it. I think that making mistakes is an integral part of the
scientific method.
Of course, there is a corollary - you can't teach an old scientist new
science.
Having babbled for the last two paragraphs, I'll close buy saying that I
will revert to the entire installation on the same partition.
