Overfull Filesystems how to solve?

Hi,

Daniel encountered the problem that his root partition was written full because of the qemu addon being too big (200 MB). See bug #12268 for details.

So he suggested moving the path /usr/share/qemu to /var. I do not really like this solution as there are standards how the filesystem hierarchy works under Linux.

Furthermore, as the systems become bigger (eg. moving python3 to the core) this problem will become more relevant to us. So I would like to start a discussion on how to solve this. Moving things to /var can only be a temporary solution. Should we force a reinstallation, which solves the root of the problem?
