Well, there was one link like that that used to be there in earlier kernels,
and if i remember well, you had to set some kernel-package option to not set
it. It may have been another link though. Do you have an idea from what i
speak ?

Yes, it was the build link :

  build -> /home/sven/genesi/kernel/kernel-source-2.6.8-pegasos

And kernel-package knows how to not include it for official builds. The same
could be done for the source link ? My self built kernel-image has both for
2.6.8.
