One of the downfalls of apt-get is that your dependent on the package 
maintainer to take care of where to put the files.  If the install 
didn't put it in /usr/share/drupal6 where did the package install? 
Maybe look in /var/www for your Drupal installation or use the locate 
command to find it if you have updatedb executed in cron.
