There is no sales tax on alcohol (or soft drinks or IIRC any of the drinks in question) in MA. It is convenient knowing that a six pack has .30 deposit and a case has 1.20 deposit. And what happens when someone buys a can with a .06 deposit and then the deposit is .07 when they go to return it? This just seems like a complication. Heck, I'd even be OK with saying the deposit gets rounded to the nearest .05. Leave the deposit at .05 or round it to the nearest .05 and stamp the item with the correct deposit, but indexing to the CPI is going to be a PITA.
