It is the top-level directory of the kernel source tree.
Assume you install the kernel source package linux-source-2.6.14. This
contains some documentation files and a tar file of the kernel source in
/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.14.tar.bz2. This unpacks with
tar xjf /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.14.tar.bz2
into the current directory, wherever that might be, so as to create a
single directory: linux-source-2.6.14/
cd to that directory before using make-kpkg
