I have /var/cache/apr/archive on a seperate partition, actually
on a seperate HD an old 1G clunker I had left over after an upgrade
on which I have 2 500M partitions one is /var/cache/apt/archive
the other mount as ~/music/mp3.

Your setup would probably be fine uner most dists, but debian stores
it's cache of downloaded .deb's under /var which is perfectly logical
but IMHO a note about this in the install would save a lot of problems
for first time debian installers
