Software that uses kernel includes needs /usr/src/linux and not something
else. You can build the kernel in another location but there are certain
things that always break if you do (at least that was the case 6 months
ago).
And also the headers are headers and not sourcecode. Headers belong into
/usr/include. Does the FHS say that .h headers belong into /usr/src?
