Yes -- try doing 'ls' and you will surely see that there is no
Makefile in /usr/src/linux.  If there is a Makefile, then it certainly
isn't the correct one.  The Debian kernel-source packages give a
bzipped tarball in /usr/src called kernel-source-<version>.tar.bz2.
You need to extract that via 'tar -jxvf <file>'.  That will create the
directory tree as /usr/src/kernel-source-<version>.  Go to that
directory and try 'make menuconfig'.  On this machine it is
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.8.
