I have 2 drives in my Q610. I keep running out of space on the root

Is there a way to have configure debian so that it will put temporary
stuff on the /usr drive when installing packages? Currently there are
some really large files that get created like /var/lib/dpkg/available
and available-old and then in the archives folder. Can I tell debian to
put those on the /usr drive instead? I tried to make a link, but it
won't let me do a link across drives.
You can also ask apt to clean out the archive, should save space. But if
you want to reinstall stuff you'll have to re-download them
Other option is to move the directory under /var containing the packages
to the other drive, and softlink (!) the directory. Softlinks can be
made across drives
