Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt, but if someone is such a newbie that they don't know to unpack sources and cd into the working directory because they didn't bother reading the preface material, what makes you think they'll read anything but the actual commands? I think it's a waste of time. If someone doesn't know to unpack and cd into the newly created directory, they're not going read anything anywhere in the book to help them. They're going to blindly subscribe to the mailing list and ask for help (probably without even consulting the faq).
