You usually can get away with a much smaller root filesystem if you use
a separate /usr. The good thing is that you won't run into trouble with
dozens of kernels installed (they take more than 100MB in /lib/modules
each).

Looks generally fine. One thing I would have done (and which I cannot
see whether you did it) is to leave some free space in the VG so you can
extend existing filesystems or create new ones when you need to.

It helps in our understanding if you try to use the correct terminology.
What I think you wanted to say is something like:
"I created one big primary partition and used that as Physical Volume
for my Volume Group 'Debian'. I created all filesystems in Logical
Volumes in that Volume Group."
I capitalized terms specific to LVM.
