Agreed, I believe alternatives should be used for the common files so that users can select the "default" ones.
Here are the files that are common to both in quantal: /usr/share/java/catalina-ant.jar /usr/share/java/catalina-tribes.jar /usr/share/java/tomcat-coyote.jar /usr/share/java/tomcat-i18n-es.jar /usr/share/java/tomcat-i18n-fr.jar /usr/share/java/tomcat-i18n-ja.jar /usr/share/java/tomcat-juli.jar That said, its hard to recommend spending much time on tomcat6. One can always use a chroot (see the 'schroot' package for a nice interface to these) to serve them both from the same machine.
