This is probably a newbie tip, but maybe it will help someone else.
I run Sid, so I do a lot of kernel upgrades. I just happened to look at /lib/modules last night and I discovered that I had a set of kernel specific subdirectories going back to my last fresh install. This was wasting several hundred megabytes of disk space under root. Even though it has no other ill effect than wasted disk space, I did "rm -r" on each one that I no longer have the kernel for.

Cleaning /lib/modules
Re: Cleaning /lib/modules
I have since been informed that using "apt-get purge" instead of remove for kernels will accomplish the same result. I have not had the opportunity to test that yet, though.

Re: Cleaning /lib/modules
Verified: apt-get purge also does the cleanup. I told you it was a newbie idea.
