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
