I don't know what Debian's default is these days, but I generally recommend a big swap combined with /tmp on tmpfs (which uses virtual memory for the filesystem), rather than using a disk partition for /tmp. Also set up a big /var (possibly part of a bigger filesystem) and remember that /var/tmp exists.

I see no reason to expect the Linux Mint Debian installer to be similar to the standard Debian installer.
