That sounds good.  Something like:

  Error: Unable to create /usr/src/linux symlink.  This probably means
  that you have installed your own source into /usr/src.  On a Debian
  system /usr/src is owned by Debian (in compliance with the FSSTND).
  See <some-faqdoc> for a detailed explanation.  Please rememdy the
  situation, and then reinstall this package.

or something like that.  I think this would go a long way to
preventing a flood of questions on debian-user when hamm's finally
released.
