I'm guessing that this is because somewhere in the Apache configuration you are already PerlRequire'ing /usr/share/request-tracker3.6/libexec/webmux.pl which is in turn pushing /usr/share/request-tracker3.6/lib onto @INC. We could add a note in the READMEs that you shouldn't do this, but I don't think there's anything we could change in the package to stop this being a problem (which is a shame, because I suspect that it'll a common problem). The rt3.8-apache2 package provides not only modperl2 configuration but also fastcgi and speedycgi, which *can* be used in parallel with multiple versions If that wasn't the case, I'd consider Conflicts: rt3.6-apache2, but even that would only be a clue as to where the problem was since the conffile could still be there, being included by mistake. Have I missed anything?
