You can either get the kernel-source package from slink or the tarball
from ftp.kernel.org, etc. If you get the latter, kernel package doesn't
care where you put it. Either /usr/src or /usr/local will do, for
example. You need to run kernel package from the top level directory of
the linux source and it will place the resultant .deb file in the next
higher directory.
