Cydia creates this folder to increase the amount of files allowed on the system partition. Since this file is on the user data partition, items are symlinked to certain subfolders inside this folder so you can put many more files on the system partition.

Cydia 1.1.15 and earlier creates this folder (which is on the user partition) and it moves here /Applications, /Library and /Library/Themes on its first run to free up space on the system partition, leaving symlinks from the original path. This allows you to install tweaks and 3rd-party applications without the risk of filling up your root partition. Newer Cydia versions use /private/var/db/stash instead.
