What do you mean by "vital installation information"? Debian strives to put every configuration file into /etc, so I guess I didn´t understand the problem. If you run Debian on both machines, there´s no easy solution for keeping the dpkg database up to date on both servers. I would try mounting /usr from the server with the big hd and propagate /etc in another way.
