Depends on how your system is setup. Mine is running using the eMMC - which might make me run out of disk space during a bigger update session. If I'm having a 'big' update session, then I go ahead and temporarily move /var to a SD card. With that configuration the system might slow down a bit during the update (because accessing the SD is not as fast as eMMC) but on the other hand I can just go ahead and let synaptic (or apt-get) do its job. After all the updating is finished and I have cleared apt's cache, I move /var back to the eMMC.
