In the past this was my partition scheme:

Having /usr separate from the root file system is no longer recommended or supported. There are various bits and pieces from /usr that now may get called during the boot sequence while only the root file system is mounted. Mostly, these support udev classification of various devices you might not have, so it's possible that everything would work just fine for you, but it's still not a recommended configuration.
