As I'm a little short on space on /, it's interesting but the description says: "This tool is a hack which is *not* integrated with the system's package management system and therefore is not for the faint of heart. Its interference can provoke strange, but usually harmless, behavior in programs related to apt/dpkg, such as dpkg-repack, reportbug, etc. Responsibility for its usage and possible breakage of the system therefore lies in the system administrator's hands. " So while I'm not faint of heart, I think I'll rather resize my / partition. Even if it means moving partitions around a little.
