There are a few ways to alleviate the congestion.

1 - remove unwanted packages  The X windows stuff takes up a lot of
space for example.
2 - move various dirs to a USB drive or SD card.  /opt and /var are two
good candidates.  /usr could be done but that requires some
experimentation.  If certain libraries are not available at boot time,
your could have problems.
3  - create a new filesystem on a SD card and use that for your personal
stuff.  What I did was to create a new filesystem on a SD card and
mounted it as /home.  Now I have gobs of space for my stuff.   In
retrospect, I should have done #2 and #3.



4) search google for "debian clean up /var". For example the apt cache 
in /var/cache/apt/archives on one of my servers is using 707MB and 
apt-get clean would give you back that space
