I think that is the wrong solution. Personally, I'd do a reinstall in
your position. I'd backup home AND any configuration files you have
changed. Then I'd do a reinstall and ensure that *THIS* time the /
directory has a few G.

I "personally" just use the whole disk most of the time:
root@tal:~# df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5        36G   34G  182M 100% /
udev             10M     0   10M   0% /dev
tmpfs            50M  332K   50M   1% /run
tmpfs           5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
tmpfs           293M     0  293M   0% /run/shm

As you can see I have a bit of juggling to do now and then anyway, but
this is just my laptop. I reckon I'd have more problems if I'd set up a
partioning scheme.

Of course, your usage and requirements may be different. If it is just a
basic home desktop, I wouldn't worry.

But blocking kernel updates is the wrong way to go, IMNSHO.

There are ways, but why compromise on security?
