Actually, Debian's kernel-{source,headers} packages both update
/usr/src/linux to point at the correct directory and the documentation
available indicates that /usr/src/linux is a symlink which can be pointed
at whatever you need it to point at.  

Specification of a full path is something kernel-package does when you use
it with an installed modulename-source package.  If you build modules by
hand, you need to keep /usr/src/linux up to date or edit makefiles or
something.

<Knghtbrd> Okay, you people have started talking about BSDM applications of
