What partitions to set for a 19 GB drive?

Here's my thoughts on an optimal way to repartition a 19 GB hard drive for a web server:

/: 100 MB
swap: 256 MB
/usr: 3.9 GB
/var: 2 GB
/tmp: 500 MB NOSUID
/home: rest (~12 GB) NOSUID

Comments?

/usr is where MySQL is installed and I plan to put some pretty big archives in it. (Hmm, actually perhaps /usr/local/mysql/data should be moved to /home/mysql/data, in order to separate code from data? Then /usr only has to be 2 GB and I have more flexibility.)

/var is where logfiles will go. Mail goes in /home however, since I'm running qmail with Maildir delivery.

/home is where users' files go.
