No no, I was the one having endless problems with apt-get after a partial
upgrade to potato. And the only reason it was partial was because apt
wouldn't upgrade everything!

First there are no .debs on /usr and therefor that doesn't explain what
happened to 500MB+ of free space! /var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/debian/dists/unstable is where the .debs are and I would accept the usage this partition is getting
But /usr should have had some space left, shoudn't it have? I was upgrading.
To me it should only have used maybe a couple hundred more MBs of disk space.
