I had the same problem. I wasn't really keen to look for a Windows machine to do that but, having read this thread and TFM on apt-get, I found a simple solution:
apt-get -o dir::cache=/home/user/MyDocs/apt-cache upgrade
It tells apt-get to use a specific folder for its cache for downloading and expanding packages. By default this is in rootfs. The upgrade needed about 48MB in my case and I simply did not have that much spare in rootfs.

I may have had an error or two (about directories not present) but those were pretty straightforward to sort out I am now running SCCU-Thumb at 850MHz and the device is snappier than ever.

Sorry if this has already been said; the thread is getting a bit long to keep up with every post.
