I might not understand the question, but looking at /var on a couple
of my machines, the biggest thing is apt-cacher-ng's cache which is
over 9GB (but serving up both wheezy and jessie).
Next is jessie's /var/log with /var/log/journal/ using 1.4GB.
I tried running ntopng and that gobbles inodes; ls -1R /var/tmp/ntopng
produces over 39,000 lines (in six weeks).

Cheers,
David.
