I recently did a clean install of Debian Buster and here is the current
configuration:

As my systems are all desktops of one variety or another, I keep /home
on a separate partition where it makes sense to do so.

$ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev            7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /dev
tmpfs           1.6G   18M  1.6G   2% /run
/dev/sda5        20G  8.4G  9.8G  47% /
tmpfs           7.8G  100M  7.7G   2% /dev/shm
tmpfs           5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs           7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sdb1        92G   67G   21G  77% /opt
/dev/sda1       511M  2.1M  509M   1% /boot/efi
/dev/sda6       359G  147G  205G  42% /home
tmpfs           1.6G   27M  1.6G   2% /run/user/1000


Given my layout, the merged directories are not an issue but just look
odd at first glance after 22 years of my seeing them as stand alone
directories.
