Usually you have to install kernel sources on your own. As you already
have said you can find that sources in /usr/src!
Perhaps you have to decompress kernel source first. Can you find an archive in
/usr/src?

That's strange. If you have installed kernel source you _will_ find them
in /usr/src! Are you sure you have choosen the right packet?
Kernel-source and not Kernel-image?
