That's not quite the whole picture. If you are doing regular software updates, extra disk space will be used by the currently in use files until they are released, which happens as they are shutdown and closed by programs (for example). Even logging out and back in again sometimes regains 20-50MB after an apt-get dist-upgrade (on sid) for me. Updating the kernel I find consumes about 15MB until I reboot. OpenOffice and Chromium use more. There are other reasons this can happen in addition to software updates, but they should be more rare.
