I'm not a Debian expert, so please somebody correct if I am wrong...

Anyway, I would recommend that you keep FLE directory inside
/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products because it takes only constant
amount of disk space (a couple of megabytes).  All data that you
create while using FLE is stored in Zope's object database 
/var/lib/zope/var/Data.fs (where you need to have several hundereds
of megabytes of free space).

If you are really running out of space in /usr partition you can
always create a symbolic link /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products/FLE
pointing to actual FLE directory on some other partition.
