Yes, moving the package cache and other parts of the packaging system out of rootfs works great. It is, perhaps, a little geeky for some users, but for those comfortable with root access at a command line it is trivial. I wrote about it in a blog post when the last big set of upgrades came out #n900 updates http://www.orient-lodge.com/node/3920 In my case, I have tons of junk so I moved three directories, /var/lib/apt /var/lib/dpkg /var/cache/apt I haven't had problems since.

Allow for the package cache to be out of rootfs I did not receive my recently ordered N900 so far, but can't you transparently move the apt cache (and other larger directories) somewhere else using a bind mount? I'd assume most things in /var/cache, /var/spool (if it exists) and /var/lib do not need to reside on the "/" partition.
