I hadn't seen this mentioned yet, but you can try apt-get clean :

proto:~# df -h /
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5              19G   18G  597M  97% /
proto:~# apt-get clean
proto:~# df -h /
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5              19G   17G  1.4G  93% /
