Having the sources installed in /usr/src and referenced there rather

That's why there is the 'substitute-path' feature in gdb to fix that. Also see
http://grep.be/blog/en/computer/code/gdb_substitute_path
While this feature allows gdb to know the correct source locations, using it implies that packages requiring the feature contain incorrect source paths - wouldn't it be better for these packages to contain correct source paths in the first place?
