Which is precisely what I have done.

Unfortunately I am stuck with a non-Debian module that makes calls to /usr/src/linux. I get the impression that this is likely to be fairly common for Debian users who need to use some non Debian software. Making /usr/src/linux a symlink seems to satisfy the "foreign" software without putting any files where they should not be.

I have done so.
