Is this after using the new sarge d-i? I've experienced the same problem and had to delete these two log files to get packages installed. This was on a test system where only /home and swap are on separate partitions, whereas my production system has a separate /var partition. Nevertheless, it would seem that the new d-i is creating huge versions of these two logs (>1G each in the first day or so).
