Yes, that is the current de-facto standard. I maintain thinkpad-source
which contains /usr/src/thinkpad.tar.gz which unpacks into modules/thinkpad
which is used to build thinkpad-modules-x.y.z packages. I followed the
example of pcmcia-source / pcmcia-modules-x.y.z and kernel-source-x.y.z /
kernel-image-x.y.z-yadda .
