How 183 Mb is like 2k and typing 'apt-get clean' a lot of work is beyond me ...

Might be wise to keep these around unless you absolutely need the space. Much can probably be reclaimed by typing "make clean" or even "make distclean" in the appropriate directory. Now I don't precisely know which one since I don't have the kernel sources installed ;-) Try under /usr/src/linux-2.6.6 and /usr/src/linux-2.4.26. You can always recompile later if needs be.

¿ Er.. you're not seriously considering nuking /usr, are you ? Locations like /usr/bin and /usr/lib contain heaps of essential programs and libraries.
