It depends on the size of the 'common' stuff, I don't know the coq case, but the coq package has an installed size of about 20Mb, if a relevant percentage of those is sharable ... why not? Just to avoid reentering old threads: my point here is not the disk space saving but the better packages organization that can result, the *-common is a ... common (sorry :) pattern in many debian packages.
