As I'm a little short on space on /, it's interesting but the
description says:

"This tool is a hack which is *not* integrated with the system's
 package management system and therefore is not for the faint of heart.
 Its interference can provoke strange, but usually harmless, behavior in
 programs related to apt/dpkg, such as dpkg-repack, reportbug, etc.
 Responsibility for its usage and possible breakage of the system
 therefore lies in the system administrator's hands.
"

So while I'm not faint of heart, I think I'll rather resize my /
partition. Even if it means moving partitions around a little.
