WordPress on Debian

There's a lot of conflicting documentation out there for installing 
WordPress on Debian, so I thought I'd come to you folks, who generally 
have a lot of wisdom and knowledge in all things Debian.

This will wind up being more a theoretical discussion than a specific 
question of how-to, I'm afraid....

Understand I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to Apache2 and 
WordPress and MySQL, etc (and to web stuff in general).

It seems that some docs indicate that the WordPress (WP) should put part 
of its installation in /srv, and part in /usr/lib, and part in /var/lib, 
and part in /var/www, etc.

On a philosophical/theoretical level, I want all my web-facing stuff on 
a single partition, preferably /home (as in /home/web), so that visitors 
to the site have no ability to tinker on the other partitions. Why would 
the HFS recommend that user-accessible files be on system partitions 
instead of on "safer" partitions?

Am I thinking wrongly?

I don't really even know enough to ask the right questions, but I'm 
hoping this might stir some conversations that lead me to asking the 
right questions. When I try to put my WP stuff on /home/web, I get 
confused about what goes where (because of the conflicting 
documentation, and not knowing what the various parts of 
Apaceh2/WP/mysql do),, and I get varying levels of success (but mostly 
failure) depending on what I try.

Thanks for any insight!
