I don't know, but there are other things you can do short of sharing all of /var/cache. For example, you could mount just part of it in both Debs, e.g. /var/cache/apt/archives, which takes up about 1 GB on my host. That would be a pretty big space savings for you already. If you don't want to separately mount a whole bunch of subdirectories in /var/cache, then you could mount the partition that holds /var/cache at, say, /mnt/cache in each Deb, and then set up a bunch of symlinks in each Deb's /var/cache, pointing into the shareable parts of /mnt/cache. This doesn't answer the question of which parts of /var/cache are safely shareable, but it does give you a strategy for sharing just the parts that you know (or think) are safe.
