Why doesn't anyone follow the procedure outlined in

Other than use of 'fakeroot' (which I don't use because I'm happy becoming
root having started with Slackware years ago :), I _do_ basically follow
that procedure.

I understand there are good reasons for placing the source in /usr/local/src/kernel-source.x.y.z, a directory not owned by root. Something to do with symlinks I read on a kernel-digest once, but I can't remember the details.
