Ok then just use that as example directory.

This is were you step in the realm of an installation server and leave
the realm of installation sources. It does not matter where the
installation source is located on your disk. The directory is just an
example.
As apache2 in the default configuration does not follow symlinks and
especially does not follow symlinks outside of the document root placing
the packages in /srv and make /usr/src/packages a link is the better
choice.
