You may have several kernel source versions on your disk. You should
point /usr/src/linux as a symbolic link to the one you are currently
building. Do not download into it, because you then risk having 2 versions
mixed together (or else create the new version directory and point /usr/src/linux
to it just before you unpack the archive).
If you load the Debian kernel-source... packages, each downloads into
a different directory, with the appropriate name.
