I may be uneducated, but I disagree. /var is a good place to put the packages, since they SHOULD be transient and removeable. As for ~/download, can a normal user download and apply updates? Not too likely. They're normally KDESU-ed or some equivalent which gives them root access. What would probably be a better choice would be another subsystem of YOU which allows you to manage the downloaded packages/etc... JMHO
