This directory belongs to package "apt". The man-page of apt-get states
/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/
Storage area for state information in transit. Configuration Item:
Dir::State::Lists (implicit partial).
So I think you can remove all files in /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ without risk.
With the next command
apt-get update
or
aptitude update
there may again appear files in this directory. I would expect to see there
files only in the case the "update" command is interrupted. But may be something
is wrong with apt-get. Time to file a bug report?
