traditions are not a justification.
there is also an old d-user thread about it
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200312/msg03500.html
/usr/src is a good place for non host-specific sources,
like the debian kernel sources. for your own pleasure use ~/src.
also in the git howto's you'll never see /usr/src mentioned.
