I think most users of disks more than a little under 20G would ultimately be
unhappy with that. I think I'd skip separate /home if HD size less than 19G.
So, something like this:

less than 19G -> up to 1G swap, balance /
19G-35G -> 8G /, up to 2G swap, balance /home
more than 35G -> 12G /, up to 4G swap, balance /home

I would go way beyond that. Don't users install additional applications? I have more than 30GB of applications installed, though I will admit that is probably far from typical. I think for under 80GB of space, it should be a single partition. Over that, if you are going to go for this crazy scheme ;), make / at least 20G.

I'd split at around 40G, with 20 for /.

20G is about 5 times the max usage of any of my 50 or so / partitions. I
don't think average users with separate homes need even 10G for /, and the
rest of the users know what they need and will custom partition regardless of
any default proposal. Maybe add a 4th level with 80G+ disks given 20G for /.
