To find out where the package maintainer has put the things (Debian, at least, has a very strict policy on where to put certain types of files), you could always do a:

dpkg -L drupal6

I knew there must be a way like that but wasn't familiar enough to say.

That will list all installed files from that package.

But I have made the experience, too, that running fast moving webapps from a debian package is not the best idea...

Yes, I agree. Either grab the tarball and install manually or use a script similar to drush but even scripts like drush are a kind of package installer. :)
