Well, in such cases I'd say the best is to stick with the de facto/by letter standards, unless there is a reason for altering from that. My impression is that the standard way of doing it is put the respective source tree under /usr/src (I don't know what the formal stuff like LSB has to do with it, but at least, that's what one can see at most distros). However, as others point out, the "unless" clause is in effect here. Fine then, let's alter from the standard. But in this case the book could be a bit more specific about the case -- the novice user who cames from a binary distro will get confused and will only see a POLS violation. So maybe some text like "kernel sources can be used for this and that, so -- unlike other source trees -- you might consider keeping it around (just please please please don't put it to /usr/src/linux); but if you want to save that space, feel free to delete the source tree, there is nothing wrong about that, and anyway, later on you can..." would add a little bit to the educative value.
