Without some [probably fragile] solution for keeping /usr/src/linux in
sync with the running kernel this isn't reasonable because you can't
rely on it.

It's reasonable to have this as the suggested configuration, but saying
that the system becomes non-FHS because (for example) you're compiling
a new kernel is silly.
