The files in /var/log dont need to be there, you can remove all the
log files if you want (but copy them to another partition is a good
idea, just in case).
Allso it is good practice when you have a small /var partition to do
apt-get clean which cleans out the local repository and frees up space
in /var. This should be done regurlarly then (perhaps a cron job).
