This possibility became reality in antiquity. I never would have completed my
first Debian installation attempt if this were not the case. I can't remember
the
last Gnu/Linux installer I ran across that didn't have this capability. Unlike
David, who /usually/ partitions prior to starting up the Debian installer, I
*always* do. Only one partitioner is ever used on any of my partitionable
media. I
usually format first too, including any swap partition.

A mount point isn't a partition. It's a directory purposed for mounting a
separate
filesystem. The directory, and its inode consumption, goes on the root
filesystem.
