drupal7:
It is in /usr/share/doc/drupal7/README.Debian.gz
/usr/local/share/drupal/modules and themes

Actually, I discovered links such as
/usr/share/drupal6/modules/local -> /usr/local/share/drupal/modules
pointing to the same directory that drupal7 recommends, hence the bug report
I don't believe those links are created by the drupal6 package (I just
tested it on a clean environment), but they are recommended by
/usr/share/doc/drupal6/README.Debian.gz - so it is possible I created
them myself at some point in the past.

I'm not suggesting they are not co-installable, I'm just pointing out
the fact that the default local paths for drupal6 and drupal7 are
identical - it is certainly not an intractable problem to fix though,
and it would be nice for the wheezy version of the drupal7 package to
recommend
/usr/local/share/drupal/7/modules
or
/usr/local/share/drupal7/modules
instead of just
/usr/local/share/drupal/modules
Apart from tweaking those links, my site upgrades have been relatively
smooth
