you can set a different archive on the commandline using:
apt-get -o dir::cache::archives=<wherever> ...
or put this into apt.conf. man apt.conf:
Dir::Cache contains locations pertaining to local cache
information, such as the two package caches srcpkgcache
and pkgcache as well as the location to place downloaded
archives, Dir::Cache::archives. Like Dir::State the
default directory is contained in Dir::Cache
I have another partition (100MB) mounted at /var/cache, to prevent
wwwoffle and apt from flooding /var.
