It's no longer normal to unpack the kernel source in /usr/src,
and one wouldn't except there to be a linux symlink to be renamed
if you hadn't already unpacked one there, say, from hamm or previous.
If you download kernel-package and fakeroot, you can unpack the
source anywhere and then, at top level in the source,

fakeroot /usr/sbin/make-kpkg clean
fakeroot /usr/sbin/make-kpkg --revision=foo.1 kernel_image
^^^^^
something more meaningful --------
You'll be left with a package called /kernel-image-2.3.41_foo.1_i386.deb
in the directory above you (i.e. in ..) which you can then install
like any .deb file.
