I am planning to install Debian Distro, for which, I believe it needs around 3-4 partitions for /usr, /bin, etc. along with the regular swap and the root partitions ..
In debian there is no need to create /usr /bin etc.. but it is a good idea to do that because if you plan to reinstall the system in future then you can remount existing /usr partition without formatting and format other partitions.
